What is Gamma?
Gamma is a pure form of energy characterized by its deep penetration and low-dose rates. Gamma irradiators are powered by Cobalt-60, a radioisotope that kills microorganisms throughout a product, including bacteria, molds, and yeasts. The applied radiation dose is tailored to the type and level of contamination while maintaining product integrity and performance.
What materials and products can be irradiated to eliminate or decrease microbial contamination?
The FDA-approved, radiation-based Gamma solution treats a variety of materials and finished goods, including:
- Cosmetic cleaning towelettes
- Baby wipes
- Eyelid and ocular hygiene wipes
