✦ Synopsis
An electron beam facility is described utilizing a 30 cm wide x 250 kV x 20 ma processor for the study of the in-line sterilization of containers for aseptic food and medical device packaging. The sterilizer permits the handling of containers of varying length to diameter ratios, ranging from 1.36 liter (46 oz) two piece cans, to 0.5 liter (16.9 oz) liquid food cartons to 3-90 ml pharmaceutical syringes and vials.
The thin film dosimetric techniques used to survey these containers and the results obtained under in-line, continuous motion conditions are described.
