Why Peracetic Acid Is A Better Sterilization Choice Than Gamma Irradiation
When choosing a sterilization process, it is important to look at all the factors involved and make the best choice in terms of material compatibility, room temperature, fast turnaround, no residuals, and ease of operation. When using radiation-based sterilization methods, some types of polymers, delicate proteins or enzymes can be seriously damaged.
