Event Description:
Our evening meeting on January 9, 2018 will be a NOON type field-trip meeting to Steri-Tek in Fremont! This timing is an attempt to avoid the late afternoon and evening rush-hour mayhem in the East Bay. We will gather at Steri-Tek at 11:30Am for check-in, a light lunch, and networking. At 12PM will have a tour of Steri-Tek's new e-Beam and X-Ray sterilization facility. Upon completion of the tour (about 12:30pm), Larry Nichols will give an introductory presentation on sterilization of pharmaceuticals, biologics and medical devices. Some of what he will cover is: E-Beam and X-Ray Sterilization What materials are compatible Medical Device Pharma Biologics Tricks to make radiation work for sensitive materials Split Dosing Temperature controlled processing Shielding the beam Attenuating the beam Modified Atmosphere Packaging Why E-Beam Quick processing time Most gentle on materials Most cost effective Why X-Ray Deep product penetration Gentle on materials Dose uniformity We will then wrap up the event with one-on-one discussions and questions and networking.
