Gamma Radiation Sterilization

Characterized by deep penetration and low dose rates, gamma radiation effectively kills microorganisms throughout the product and its packaging with little temperature effect. Even high-density products such as pre-filled syringes can be processed and used with confidence.

Package integrity and efficiency

• Given the penetrating nature of gamma radiation, permeable packaging materials are not required.
• Since there is no requirement for pressure or vacuum, package seals are not stressed.

Simplicity, reliability and immediate release

• With gamma radiation time is the only variable requiring control, so the possibility of deviation is minimal.
• As soon as the delivered dose of radiation is verified, products may be released for shipment.

No residuals, no radioactivity

• Gamma rays are pure energy. They do not create residues, nor do they have sufficient energy to impart radioactivity.

Advancing the state of the art:

• ExCell®, the world's first, and only, high-precision irradiator. No other gamma sterilization cell processes products as quickly and accurately, while maintaining delivered doses to within ±10%. Available in North America only.
• CompactCell™, the high-precision irradiator for the European market.
• GammaStat® service. Move to the head of the line when you absolutely, positively must have sterilized product stat - guaranteed!
