Gamma Sterilization is a widely used method of sterilization that employs ionizing radiation to eliminate microorganisms from varieties of products, including medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and food products. Gamma sterilization services have several benefits over other sterilization methods, making it a preferred choice for many applications. In this article, we will discuss some of the advantages of gamma sterilization.

Gamma irradiation is used for sterilizing equipment in an industry, which can be done by several techniques such as dry heating, Autoclaving (steam sterilization) using gamma rays. Sterilization using gamma rays has the following advantages:

• Unlike heat sterilization or steam sterilization, Gamma radiation sterilization does not significantly increase the temperature of the products and therefore, can be used to sterilise safely even the heat sensitive materials as well as materials in frozen condition.
• Gamma sterilization does not leave any harmful residue like Ethylene oxide sterilization. When products are exposed to Gamma rays from a Cobalt-60 source at an optimum level there is no danger of radioactivity or toxicity. Radiation-processed products do not become radioactive as our body does not start emitting X -rays after being X-rayed.
• Gamma sterilization can be performed easily after packaging the products in the final containers also. Product sterility is retained on top notch, as long as the packaging is intact.
• Sterilization of products of any shape and size, from any industry, can be achieved due to the high penetrability of Gamma rays.
• Radiation sterilization is a pollution free, environment-friendly process, and since it is a continuous process, the results are more uniform than gas or high-temperature sterilization.
• Gamma radiation is performed in pre packed goods in their completely packed condition and no need to open the packages for sterilization. Gamma radiation passes through the packed products without needing to open them.
