Industrial Sterilization Types: Ionization and EtO<\/h1>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row top_padding=”80″ bottom_padding=”80″][vc_column width=”1\/1″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

IONISOS is the result of the merger between Conservatome, specializing in ionizing treatments, and Amphytrion, an expert in gamma radiation. Our company thus benefits from over 60 years of experience in various types of sterilization<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

With the addition of ethylene oxide, and soon X-rays, IONISOS offers you tailored industrial sterilization solutions.<\/p>\n

Gamma Rays: An Ideal Sterilization Method for Medical Equipment<\/h2>\n

Among the three sterilization processes<\/a><\/strong> currently employed by IONISOS, gamma radiation is one of the most widely used. It effectively eliminates microorganisms through the action of rays emitted from a controlled radioactive source, Cobalt 60.<\/p>\n

Gamma treatment<\/strong> involves exposing the products to radiation within a specialized chamber for a limited period. The exposure time and absorbed dose are determined based on the materials.<\/p>\n

Without requiring elevated temperatures or quarantine after treatment, gamma sterilization<\/strong> has a strong penetration power, allowing entire pallets to be treated. It is especially used for medical devices, surgical instruments, as well as pharmaceutical and cosmetic products.

Beta Treatment: A Low-Temperature Sterilization Process<\/h2>\n

This ionization sterilization<\/strong> uses an electron beam to eliminate all microorganisms without residual effects.<\/p>\n

Also known as e-beam sterilization<\/strong>, this method involves exposing products\u2014packaged in cartons\u2014to two passes under an electron flux. The result is highly effective, with an extremely reduced processing time.

Ethylene Oxide Treatment: The Solution for Sensitive Products<\/h2>\n

This is a gas sterilization<\/strong> method, suitable for items with air-permeable packaging. Depending on the materials to be treated, various parameters are adjusted: ethylene oxide concentration, temperature (between 30 and 60\u00b0C), humidity level, pressure, and exposure time. Sterilization occurs in a vacuum chamber.<\/p>\n

Ethylene oxide, or EtO, is used to sterilize medical devices that cannot withstand ionization treatments. This gas effectively destroys bacteria, viruses, and other unwanted organisms, ensuring impeccable hygiene.<\/p>\n
