Learn more about the benefits of the e-beam technology and polymer crosslinking as offered by E-BEAM Services.
The advantages of e-beam sterilization over other sterilization methods (ETO and Gamma) are many, and e-beam
sterilization is a safe and effective sterilization method for a wide variety of products (medical devices and items requiring refrigerated or frozen sterilization, just to name a few).

The e-beam sterilization process is able to penetrate medical devices and pharmaceutical products in their final shipping containers. The e-beam inactivates microorganisms either by causing microbial death as a direct effect of the destruction of a vital molecule, or by an indirect chemical reaction.

The crosslinking process involves accelerating a beam of electrons to near light speed. It then passes through a scan chamber, and transitions into a curtain of electrons.
Materials moving through the chamber on a high-speed conveyor system are showered with these high-energy electrons.
These electrons penetrate the material with a precise, predetermined dose and–depending on the material being processed and the dose that is being applied–several different beneficial changes occur.
