Sterilization by Gamma Irradiation

Sterilization by Gamma Irradiation

The word radiation and radioactive are often associated with the horrors of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and therefore have earned a negative reputation.

Esterilización con aire reducido

La utilización de autoclaves en altas latitudes comenzó junto con la historia de nuestra entrada en el mercado de América del Sur, la cual se inició hace más de 18 años.

Thin Air Autoclaving

High altitude autoclaving goes side-by-side with the story of our entrance into the South American market, which began over 18 years ago, and had many challenges.

The Right Steam Does The Right Thing

Steam often travels distances through piping before it enters the autoclave chamber and makes contact with the contaminated load.

Sterilization by Heat

This post will focus on the most common methods that use heat to sterilize. So grab a cool icy drink, it's going to get hot. Very hot.
