I will explain the advantages and disadvantages of gamma ray irradiation.
Gamma rays are a type of electromagnetic wave (light) and can penetrate materials like X-rays. Gamma ray irradiation has the advantage of high penetration power, allowing it to be used on various product forms without harmful residues, making it immediately usable after processing. On the other hand, there are also disadvantages. Depending on the materials of the product, container, or packaging, there is a possibility of discoloration, irradiation odor, and material changes. Additionally, if irradiation is performed in an oxygen-free or frozen state, it may prevent product deterioration, so please consult us. 【Advantages of Gamma Ray Irradiation】 ■ High penetration power allows for various product forms ■ No harmful residues, making it immediately usable after processing *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Company information
Koga Isotope Co., Ltd. was established in 1981 as a contract service company for gamma-ray irradiation. We provide contract services for radiation sterilization (gamma sterilization), disinfection, and modification of polymer materials through gamma-ray irradiation. Gamma-ray irradiation contributes to health and safety in sterilization and disinfection applications for medical devices, food, and pharmaceutical packaging materials, and is also applied in the modification of polymers, leading to the development of various applications such as high-performance battery materials and water-absorbent polymers. Koga Isotope has obtained ISO 9001, ISO 13485, and ISO 11137 certifications, establishing a quality assurance system that allows customers to confidently request irradiation and microbiological testing. Additionally, we have three irradiation devices and a sterilization research center, enabling us to provide a wide range of irradiation services from low to high doses and from small to large products, as well as to examine sterilization conditions and conduct microbiological testing and training, offering total services in sterilization. Furthermore, we continuously evolve to better serve our customers by acquiring licenses for cosmetics and pharmaceutical manufacturing and introducing rapid microbial identification devices (MALDI TOF/MS).
