โฆ Synopsis
The feasibility of the radiation sterilization of two beta-lactam antibiotic powders, cefamandole nafate and oxacillin sodium, has been examined by subjecting them to a range gamma-radiation doses, followed by chemical and microbiological analyses. It would appear feasible to radiation sterilize oxacillin sodium. The radiation sterilization of cefamandole nafate may be realistic at low doses or under conditions that minimize radiolysis.

The effect of gamma irradiation on the optical properties of cellulose triacetate (C.T.A.) have been investigated. Refractive index measurements were studied on both liquid and solid state samples of the polymer. These samples were exposed to different gamma doses in the range from 0.5 to 32 kGy. Th
