Sterilization
γ-Radiation treatment is the ideal process to sterilize and decontaminate materials, since it does not use toxic products, reduces energy consumption and does not produce any type of pollutants (sustainable technology).
This method offers great advantages over conventional processes, namely, because the products are treated in their final packaging, eliminating any subsequent contact with them.
Benefits
| Over Conventional Processes |
|---|
| Safe and environmentally friendly process |
| Treatment in the final packaging (eliminating risks of cross contamination) |
| Non-thermal treatment |
| Leaves no residues (the product does not need a quarantine period) |
Features
| γ-Radiation Treatment | |
|---|---|
| Sterilization mechanism | Ionizing radiation: γ-rays |
| Product Structure | No restrictions. Gamma rays penetrate all parts of the product, ensuring uniformity of the process |
| Materials | Compatible with the vast majority of materials |
| Packaging | The high penetrating power of radiation allows sterilization in almost all types of packaging |
| Parameter to be checked | Exposure time |
| Reliability and reproducibility | Great |
| Microbiological tests after sterilization |
Dismissable |
| Quarantine time | No need. Products can be used immediately after sterilization / decontamination |
| Process monitoring | Qualitative and quantitative, with the use of radiosensitive seals and calibrated dosimeters |
| Waste deposit | None |
| Economy | Excellent in small or large quantities |
