Ethylene Oxide (EtO) Sterilization
Small-batch, quick-turn, in-house EtO sterilization delivers rapid processing to meet tight deadlines without compromising quality or compliance.
EtO sterilization is currently one of the most popular sterilization methods for medical devices. Ethylene oxide gas exposure destroys pathogens and supports safe products for use on patients. EtO is typically used on products that cannot withstand high temperatures, such as plastic products or packaging, devices with electronic components, certain materials or materials that cannot withstand gamma or steam sterilization, or custom kits.
Life Science Outsourcing offers tailored EtO sterilization solutions for various R&D and custom products. Our in-house capabilities and equipment include efficient 3M Steri-Vac™ sterilizers and validated chambers. We also deliver reliable biological indicator (BI) testing to ensure your products meet stringent sterilization standards.
