Difference between aseptic/antiseptic?
Hey, I was revising some core biology and I came across these words in the following context:
Antiseptic - it was talking about the work of Dr Semmelweis and the hand washing thing.
Aseptic - a technique of culturing bacteria.
Can someone clarify the difference between these? Thanks!

An antiseptic is literally a chemical you put on something to kill germs on it. Aseptic techniques are the collection of guidelines for culturing bacteria without any contamination. In general if you do something aseptically it means you're doing it without risking contamination.
