Best Answer

A cold sterilizer uses various chemicals at room temperature that kill bacteria and spores. An autoclave is a pressure cooker of sorts, and uses hot steam under extreme pressure to kill bacteria and spores.

An autoclave is much faster and is considered the state of the art for sterilization. Unfortunately, some materials such as plastics cannot be autoclaved because they would be destroyed or melted in the process. These items are sterilized using cold sterile chemicals.
