What is E-Beam Sterilisation

The electron beam (E-beam) irradiation process uses high-energy electrons for a variety of applications, such as the sterilization of single-use medical devices, contamination control of consumer products, and modification of materials, such as heat shrink tubing, wire and cables and molded parts.

Key Benefits of E-Beam Irradiation

E-beam irradiation can penetrate a wide range of materials and deliver the required irradiating dose in just a few seconds, meaning the entire process can take place in minutes. As a result of this short exposure period, the following benefits have been found:

  • Optimized processing times
  • Improved supply chain efficiencies
  • Considerably less oxidative damage to the product
  • Reduced color change in any present polymers
  • No chemical residuals or induced radioactivity remain on processed products

 

DISCOVER OUR MILESTONES

Based on a gas diffusion process, Ethylene Oxide (EO or ETO) is capable of sterilising and rendering products free of viable microorganisms. Sterility occurs when an EO gas molecule reacts with and destroys the microbial DNA. The process requires the simultaneous control of four variables, but interdependent parameters: gas concentration, temperature, relative humidity, and time of exposure. ETO sterilization effectiveness depends on its ability to freely diffuse through a product and packaging All products must be placed in breathable packaging that allows gas to penetrate the sterile barrier and reach all surfaces of the device or product.
