Gamma
Processing by Gamma radiation covers industrial
applications ranging from the sterilisation of medical devices,
through polymer modification at a molecular level to radiation
testing. A wide variety of healthcare products from implants to
pharmaceuticals employ its sterilising capability, whilst
industrial applications from semiconductors to micro-etching can
benefit from its use.
Applied Sterilisation
Technologies (AST) has four Gamma sites in the UK, two
in the Netherlands and additional sites in Ireland, Germany,
France, Thailand, Malaysia and South Africa.
Our facilities are optimised to process a range of products
including medical devices, labware, packaging, cosmetics and
toiletries, animal husbandry, horticulture, herbs and spices and
hides and trophies. At Swindon (UK), we also have a small
plant that is suited to apply test irradiation, for example to
determine total dose radiation tolerance of materials and
electronic components for the defence and nuclear sectors or
materials effect work for medical devices.
