Talking about the advantages and disadvantages of ethylene oxide sterilization
font size：littlemiddleBig
Because ethylene oxide is a chemical gas, it will more or less pollute the sterilized products. Therefore, products exported abroad are not allowed to be sterilized with ethylene oxide. Some people even think that ethylene oxide is a kind of sterilization. Irresponsible sterilization methods, especially in China, how many manufacturers will build special exhaust gas treatment devices?
Compared with ethylene oxide sterilization, irradiation sterilization is a pollution-free and residue-free sterilization method, especially electron beam sterilization. The electron beam is generated by a high-energy electron accelerator and does not contain a radioactive source. It is safer than cobalt 60. In terms of sterilization dose, the dose provided by the electron accelerator is more accurate, which is also the development direction of irradiation sterilization in the future.
Ethylene oxide is a broad-spectrum and efficient gas sterilizer. It has strong penetrating power to disinfected items, can reach the deep part of items, and can kill several pathogenic microorganisms, including bacterial propagules, spores, viruses and fungi. Both gas and liquid have strong microbicidal effects, and gas has a strong effect, so its gas is mostly used. It is widely used in medical disinfection and industrial sterilization.
To sum up, irradiation sterilization will become the main sterilization method in the future, which is far superior to ethylene oxide sterilization in terms of environmental protection, safety and reliability.
