    Gamma Sterilization Technology —
    a Proven Track-Record of Safety, Reliability and Sustainability

    Gamma irradiators are powered by Cobalt-60,
    an isotope that produces gamma irradiation. Gamma Irradiation is a form of electromagnetic energy characterized by its deep penetration effectively killing microorganisms throughout the product and its packaging with very little temperature effect and no residues.

    Global Supply Chain Reliability for Sterilization

    With a large global network and decades of industry expertise, Gamma irradiation remains an ideal sterilization technology for single-use medical devices, pharmaceutical drug products, food and other products.

    The network of nearly 300 gamma irradiation facilities established over the industry’s long history provides robust capacity for supply chains that rely on the critical sterilization step to help ensure the safety of products for patients and healthcare providers.

    More than 20 new irradiation facilities have been built in 10 countries since 2015. Our sister business Nordion, a leading provider of Cobalt-60 for more than 70 years, is involved in ongoing projects to build even more facilities as gamma capacity continues to grow alongside demand.

    Investitions- und Expansionsbemühungen

    Nordion, our sister business, is making significant ongoing investments to maintain domestic sources of Cobalt-60 while expanding and diversifying its network.

    Of the 185M tons of Cobalt mined each year, only 500 kg are needed to support the Cobalt-60 industry.

    Gamma Processing using Cobalt-60 is
    Energy-Efficient and Sustainable

    A Sustainable Sterilization Technology

    Cobalt-60’s high density allows the radioisotope to be active in the field for roughly 20 years. Recycling programs allow more than 99% of the material to be returned from the field into new sources. The small carbon footprint associated with transportation is amortized over the life of the product.

     

    Environmental Advantages

    Gamma sterilization has significant environmental advantages over other industrial sterilization technologies. Using Cobalt-60 as a source of ionizing radiation drives 15X less electrical power consumption and 12X less greenhouse gas emissions than X-Ray facilities which consume large amounts of electricity, often generated by non-renewable technologies.
