Abstract

1426004 Sterilizing containers ELI LILLY & CO 4 Sept 1973 [19 Sept 1972] 41547/73 Heading A5G The interiors of containers are sterilized by repeatedly sparking a focussed, ultra-shortpulsed laser beam therein. The container may contain a gas such as air or, preferably a manatomic gas, e.g. A, Ne, He or Xe. Typical procedures employ from 100 to 10000 consecutive pulses of 5 nanoseconds to 5 microseconds per pulse.
