Sterilization Methods and the Comparison of E-Beam Sterilization with Gamma Radiation Sterilization

Sterilization is used in a varity of industry field and a strictly required process for some products used in sterile regions of the body like some medical devices and parenteral drugs. Although there are many kinds of sterilization methods according to physicochemical properties of the substances, the use of radiation in sterilization has many advantages depending on its substantially less tox...

Radiation sterilization of aseptically manufactured products.

This paper discusses an approach for establishing a sterilization dose for an aseptically processed product after the product is in its final packaged state, in other words, terminal sterilization. It applies to aseptic processes where the fill/finish operation is conducted in a closed system using isolator or restricted access barrier technology, that is, no human intervention. The example tha...

The Effects of Radiation Sterilization on Plastics

remainder of this discussion the term radiation will be used to mean both high-energy electrons and gamma rays except where an explicit distinction is made.

Sterilization of syringes by infra-red radiation.

more, syringes cannot be sterilized assembled or lubricated, and the syringe containers, whether multiple or single, must be so constructed that steam can freely penetrate to all surfaces of the syringe (Stewart, 1957; Darmady and Hughes, 1955). After sterilization a separate process is necessary to seal the containers before distribution to the user. Although syringes in their containers can b...
