Electron beam for sterilisation



Electron beam processing, commonly referred to as e-beam, is a sterilisation method which uses high energy electrons to sterilise an object. In terms of sterilisation technology, it is a method of irradiation and is sometimes described as electron irradiation - the act of applying radiation, or radiant energy, to some material.

As an introduction to the subject, Tim Sandle has written an article for the journal European Medical Hygiene.

The reference is:

Sandle, T. (2013). Electron beam processing: a rapidly developing sterilisation technology, European Medical Hygiene, Issue 3, pp914

For details, please see EMH or contact Tim Sandle for further details.
