As part of PackTalk’s month-long focus on sterilization, we recently sat down with Sterigenics, a global leader in comprehensive sterilization solutions, to better understand how to select the right sterilization technology for your product. When it comes to your product and the type of sterilization you use, there are a lot of factors to consider, and it’s not always a straightforward decision. Therefore, we spoke with Bart Croonenborghs, a radiation sterilization expert, and Jeff Zeevaert, a gas sterilization expert, to help guide you in your decision-making process. Let’s see what they had to say:
Jean-François (Jeff) Zeevaert, is a Principal Scientist of Gas Sterilization at Sterigenics. His primary areas of expertise are Ethylene Oxide (EtO) sterilization and novel sterilization modalities, such as Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) sterilization. He is also a member of ISO Technical Committees 194 and 198.
The key is to find the right process for the product, and an understanding of the benefits and limitations of the available technologies which is critical to choosing a sterilization method. In order to play its role in safeguarding global health, Sterigenics, is committed to remaining at the forefront of sterilization technology development, process development and process monitoring methods across the spectrum of sterilization technologies.
