EFFICIENTLY, QUICKLY AND ACCURATELY
IONISOS is a major European company specializing in sterilization through beta rays, gamma rays and ethylene oxyde.
We send our products to be irradiated by gamma rays to one of IONISOS modern irradiation site near Le Mans
The process of ionization consists in exposing the products to be treated with the gamma radiations emitted by a source of Cobalt 60.
The emitted photons have two energy levels: 1,17 and 1,33 MeV.
Note: Energy levels higher than 10 MeV are required to induce radioactivity in the exposed product.
Therefore, gamma ray photons are of too low energy to induce any radioactivity in the treated products.
An automatic system of conveyors moves the products into the irradiation cell, passing the product close to the radiation source according to a predefined route and at a specified speed, before leaving the cell following the treatment.
The absorbed dose received by any part of the product, irrespective of its position in the treatment cell, depends primarily on the following factors:

The absorbed dose received by any part of the product, irrespective of its position in the treatment cell, depends primarily on the following factors:
- the activity and configuration of the source.
- the distance between the source and the product.
- duration of irradiation.
- the composition and density of materials.
