(time varies based on dose requirements)

GAMMA

Gamma irradiation exposes products to a Cobalt 60 radiation field

X-RAY

X-ray irradiation uses ionizing energy from high-powered electron beam accelerators

GAS

ETHYLENE OXIDE

Ethylene oxide sterilization uses a 3-part gas process which includes pre-conditioning, sterilization, and aeration

VAPORIZED HYDROGEN PEROXIDE

VHP is a deep vacuum, low temperature vapor sterilization process
