Technologies


We are proud of being technology neutral. Whether it is Gamma, Electron Beam, Ion Beam or Ethylene Oxide, we help our customers to find the most appropriate process to treat their products. Our flexible and comprehensive test facilities can be used to perform product specific trials and analyses. In addition to the processing technologies, Isotron laboratories provide customers with a comprehensive range of microbiological, analytical and consultancy services.

Technologies - Gamma Processing

Gamma

Gamma processing is a sophisticated technique with applications ranging from medical device sterilisation to polymer modification at the molecular level.

Technologies - Electron Beam (E-Beam)

Electron Beam (E-Beam)

As well as being a highly established method used for initiating change at a molecular level in polymers, Electron Beam has also established itself as an effective sterilisation process for medical devices, dressings and pharmaceuticals.

A key characteristic of Gamma processing is its high penetration capabilities, enabling relatively dense products to be processed with ease...

There are two key aspects which differentiate Electron Beam from Gamma processing; a faster processing time and less penetration...

Technologies - Ethylene Oxide (EtO)

Ethylene Oxide (EtO)

Ethylene Oxide is a gas which is widely used for sterilisation in the healthcare industry. During the sterilisation phase, products are exposed to the EtO gas which kills the organisms by reacting with its cellular constituents.

Ion Beam - Inside Tandem

Ion Beam

Ion Beam treatment uses either protons or helium ions. A unique feature of processing with this technology is the ability to selectively target a very small area.

Ethylene Oxide is a gas widely used for the sterilisation of healthcare devices and instruments...

Ion Beam is a technique that addresses a host of requirements across many different sectors...
