Gamma Irradiation, also known as Gamma Sterilization
A form of electromagnetic energy characterized by its deep penetration and low-dose rates, Gamma irradiators are powered by Cobalt-60, effectively killing microorganisms throughout the product and its packaging with very little temperature effect and no residues. The amount of radiation received depends on the type of product and its dose requirements. The dosimetric release allows products to be processed, verified, and immediately released for shipment. Our exclusive ExCell® high-precision irradiator delivers precision dosing to within ±10 percent.
