[edit] Merge

yes the two articles should be merged, they are both relevant to the same topic and ensure that more relevant information can be gained from one page visit. It would be very helpful!

I agree to merge the article Aseptic technique in microbiology into Aseptic technique, which is more specific, because aseptic environments and techniques are found not only in microbiological labs, but also in other labs dealing with live organisms / materials.--Juan de Vojníkov 09:25, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. The article needs to make the point that Joseph Lister's practices were surgical, directed at making the site of surgery sterile, and not so much to protect the surgeon (though both are now the aim). Some mention of nosocomial infection and epidemiology is also needed.--MarkTwainOnIce 00:42, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Should be merged, would be concise especially if listed under two titles (headlines whatever you want to call them) of Medical and Laboratory techniques and there importance.
