2.1.1 - Dry Heat Sterilisation
A laboratory method for the sterilisation of utensils which should be kept dry and are resistant to high temperature. Descriptors: dry heat sterilisation, hot dry air
A laboratory method for the sterilisation of utensils which should be kept dry and are resistant to high temperature. Descriptors: dry heat sterilisation, hot dry air
A laboratory method for sterilisation of materials which can withstand moist heat. Descriptors: autoclaving, autoclave
A laboratory method for sterilisation of media with constituents which will decompose if exposed to temperatures above 100 °C. Descriptors: intermittent sterilisation (tyndallisation), bacterial spores, steam chamber.
It is necessary to use EBC Microbiology 2.1.2
A general method for stabilising fluids like media, beer or wort which should not be exposed to temperatures above 100 °C in tightly closed vessels. Descriptors: pasteurisation, kill microorganisms by heat, Pasteurisation Units, tunnel pasteuriser for bottled beer, PU.
It is necessary to use EBC Microbiology 2.1.2

Descriptors: hygienic sampling, secondary contamination, microbiological sampling, flaming, steaming, rinsing with alcohol.
Aseptic sampling from tanks or pipelines through rubber diaphragms. Descriptors: hypodermic needle, safest of all methods with regard to aseptic sampling, sample fitting.
Aseptic sampling from tanks or pipelines through plug type sample cocks.
Aseptic sampling from tanks and pipelines through valve type samplers.
On line membrane filtration to collect oxygen tolerant microorganisms from a standardised, limited volume or through a bypass for a certain time. Descriptors: filterable liquid samples, membrane filter, pore size
Aseptic sampling without losing CO2. Descriptors: Counterpressure Sampling, shelf life of bulk beer.
It is necessary to use EBC Microbiology 2.2.1.2
Collection of samples for the determination of the number of brewers' yeast cells (i.e. for an analysis of physical rather than microbiological characteristics). Descriptors: Sampling for Yeast Cell Counts, Copper sulphate
Aseptic sampling from the top of an open vessel. Descriptors: sampling of thick pitching yeast
Aseptic sampling of thick yeast from a tank. Descriptors: sampling of thick pitching yeast from closed vessels, diaphragm, valve, sample cock.
