Gamma irradiation plants in India are a form of electromagnetic rays with higher energy that can pass through plastics, and kill bacteria and pathogens without harming or reducing the quality of the food. This type of irradiation offers a host of advantages in cost and sterility assurance and can only be used under controlled, safe, and properly defined parameters with no heat or moisture. This type of sterilization is similar to using heat and cold to kill bacteria and pathogens but it’s done in a safe and efficient manner and depending on the product or item the supplier or manufacturer will determine the dosage to ensure that it does its job while maintaining the safety of the products.
The type of devices gamma sterilization is used on
The main component of a gamma irradiation facility in India is the thickness of the medical device material or the food packaging and its ability to penetrate the device or wrapping depending on its thickness. Gamma sterilization does not use pressure, heat, humidity, or temperature to sterilize the products making it a great solution for most packaged goods. The devices used in this type of sterilization include plastic syringes, gowns, masks, food items, bottle teats, dressings, surgical blades, scalpels, hypodermic needles and so much more. In some cases, this type of radiation is also used to sterilize tissue grafts for bone, tendons, heart valves, and more.
A gamma irradiation plant needs to follow certain international standards for process control, routine monitoring, and validation before it can be used on certain products. Once the clearance is given, manufacturers can then use this equipment, along with irradiation compatible materials, dose setting and so much more for efficient sterilization. A lot of industries use this type of radiation to allow them to boost sales and offer a longer shelf life to their products which helps them in the long run.
The best way to determine if gamma radiation sterilization facilities in India are the perfect option for you is to consult with your chosen resource, do your research and ask questions about various sterilization processes, how each one is used and which one would be the best for your process, product and situation. This will give you an idea of what type and level of radiation to use and becoming completely informed and working towards this can allow you for an efficient and safe outcome.
