Selecting Optimal Irradiation Sterilization Technology: Start 1 Are products homogeneous in their packaging? Homogeneous No Yes 3 Is high penetration required to penetrate product or packaging? Penetration needs High Resistance to irradiation? Low Yes Protect, Enhance, and Save Lives X-ray - 14 - 2 Are products fragile or sensitive to irradiation (coloration, oxidation, …)? 4 Low High E-beam What is the product resistance to radiation (dose max)? Sensitive products? No X-ray or Gamma
