Radiation Sterilization: The 5 most common material mistakes – and how to avoid them
Radiation sterilization is an essential final step before the release of numerous medical, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical products. Early consideration of material and packaging compatibility with radiation is essential. Our whitepaper provides an overview of common challenges in material selection and explains how to avoid them.
Unsuitable plastic selected
Plastics can change their properties when exposed to radiation – some change in colour, become brittle, or lose stability. Choosing the right material is therefore crucial to ensuring the functionality and safety of the final product. By choosing radiation-resistant plastics from the start, you reduce risks and save valuable time in the development process.
“Together with my colleague Debby Amser, Key Account Manager for Radiation Sterilization, we have combined our practical expertise to identify common mistakes in material selection at an early stage and provide concrete solutions.”
