Which of the following is NOT a function of mobile cabinets?

The correct choice identifies holding large sterilization equipment as a function that mobile cabinets do not typically perform. Mobile cabinets are designed primarily for flexibility and efficiency in a clinical setting. They excel at providing working surfaces, storing frequently used dental materials, and offering storage for small pieces of equipment—everything necessary for day-to-day operations in a dental office or lab.

However, large sterilization equipment requires specialized setup and often has specific requirements regarding power, water supply, and ventilation that mobile cabinets are not designed to accommodate. Such equipment is usually more stationary and integrated into a designated space designed specifically for sterilization processes. Therefore, while mobile cabinets are useful for organization and accessibility of many items, they are not suitable for housing large sterilization devices.
