This paper further highlights the advantages of each technology and.
E beam sterilization vs gamma.
E beam on the other hand has low penetration and a high dose rate.
Electron beam technology a platform for safe fresh and beam irradiation an overview sciencedirect topics effects of gamma and e beam sterilization on the chemical transitioning to e beam or x ray q1 ions plaintiff federal trade mission s plaint for temporary.
Your maximum dose however may be higher for e beam than gamma as e beam has a faster dose rate.
Some of these methods include ethylene oxide gas radioactive cobalt 60 gamma electron beam and x ray.
Because the minimum dose has more to do with your specific product manufacturing procedures and facility it will be the same for both forms of radiation sterilization.
At iotron industries we specialize in electron beam irradiation or e beam processing.
However it is understood that gamma and eo typically meet the requirements of packaged laboratory products.
The international irradiation association iia has determined the sterilization industry is approximately 40 5 gamma 4 5 e beam 50 eo and 5 utilizing a variety of modalities such as steam and x ray source.
Gamma radiation has high penetration meaning the radiation seeps deep into the object being irradiated and a low dose rate.
By comparison electron beam sterilization only requires a concrete housing for the electron accelerator to ensure a safe work environment.
This method of sterilization processing has proven to be safe environmentally friendly and efficient.
Below is an overview of various types of.
Because of gamma s high output nature material properties can change in unwanted ways as well.
Choosing between eo sterilization or gamma depends on the type of product being cleaned.
