What is the Major Factors to Kill Bacterial Spores by Nitrogen Gas Plasma Sterilization

Sterilization by gas ovens.

A forced convection gas-fired oven has been designed which will sterilize a very heavy load of syringes and instruments and containers. It is superior to a gas-fired, infrared, radiant-heated oven which was designed for sterilizing syringes.

Effects of Hydrogen Peroxide Gas Plasma Sterilization

Specialty polymerS Solvay’s high-performance plastics continue to find a wide variety of opportunities in the healthcare market. The demand for alternatives to metal continues to grow for instruments and devices, in addition to the tray systems that support them. Solvay offers the largest selection of high-performance polymers for the healthcare industry, which includes five unique chemistries....

Plasma Assisted Decontamination of Bacterial Spores

The efficacy and mechanism of killing bacterial spores by a plasma torch is studied. Bacterial-spore (Bacillus cereus) suspension is inoculated onto glass/paper slide-coupons and desiccated into dry samples, and inoculated into well-microplate as wet sample. The exposure distance of all samples is 4 cm from the nozzle of the torch. In the experiment, paper slide-coupon is inserted inside an env...

What is the future for quinacrine sterilization?

The companion papers of Sokal and coworkers in the December 2000 issue of the journal describe their attempt through a retrospective survey to confirm the reported efficacy and safety of quinacrine sterilization in Vietnam (1, 2). Data presented on safety confirm the original report (3), although it should be noted that the risk of ectopic pregnancy will decline if efficacy improves over that o...
