# Aseptic technique

Aseptic technique is a set of practices used to prevent contamination of sterile materials by microorganisms. It includes working in a laminar-flow hood or biosafety cabinet, disinfecting surfaces, using sterile consumables and minimising exposure of open containers. It is important when preparing peptide solutions for cell culture experiments.
