Several factors to be considered in the ethylene oxide sterilization process
font size:littlemiddleBig
Ethylene oxide sterilization is one of the production processes of aseptic products, and its purpose is to ensure that after the aseptically packaged products undergo a sterilization process, the microorganisms that survive on the products are killed. At the same time, there should be no damage to the product itself and the sterile packaging that protects the product - the sterile barrier. Of course, the shipping box in which the product is placed should not be damaged, and the label should not be blurred. That is, only the microorganisms are killed, and the rest of the properties must remain as they were.
It should be noted that a confirmed sterilization process does not necessarily produce a qualified result. The sterility of the product is also related to many factors of the product itself. Only when these factors are effectively controlled can the final sterilized product meet the standards. Require.
Before selecting a sterilization supplier, the best sterilization method needs to be determined. Common sterilization methods are ethylene oxide, gamma radiation, electron beam, and high pressure steam. Selection as a sterilization method needs to consider the product and packaging: 1) the ability of the product to withstand temperature; 2) the ability of the product to withstand humidity; 3) whether the product structure is suitable for gas passage; 4) whether the product packaging is suitable for gas passage.
