Definitions
- the invention teaches new methods of sterilizing and preserving substances whereby the destruction or inactivation of harmful or undesirable micro-organisms can be conducted without causing significant damage or other del eterious effects in the host or carrier medium, including bacteria, virus, yeasts, molds, enzymes and a number of other radiation-sensitive chemicals and protein-rich materials, including blood serum.
- An object of the invention accordingly, is to provide a new and improved process of electron-beam sterilization or irradiation, not subject to the disadvantages, before discussed, but effective without damage to the irradiated substance structure.
- a further object is to provide a novel electron-beam technique of more general applicability, as well.
- the invention contemplates a process for bulk sterilization involving selectively destroying viable micro-organisms and the like in a medium, such as cellulose-containing products, blood, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, foodstuffs and other substances, but without effecting substantial chemical and physical damage to the media, that comprises, disposing a medium to-be-sterilized at a predetermined region, generating pulsed substantially monochromatic electron beam energy and directing the same to said region substantially uniformly to irradiate the medium, and adjusting the pulses of energy to produce an irradiation dose of value within the range of from substantially a few tenths to several megarads and with a dose rate greater than substantially l0 rads per second.
- a medium such as cellulose-containing products, blood, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, foodstuffs and other substances
- substantial chemical and physical damage to the media that comprises, disposing a medium to-be-sterilized at a predetermined region, generating pulsed substantially monochromatic electron beam energy and directing the same
- typical dose rates here-employed are of the order of 4 X 10" rads/second.
- Ultraviolet spectroscopic evaluation of the material was used to determine the degree of damage to the active benzyl ammonium group; and the structures in the 2,000-2,200 A and in the 2,500-2,800 A regions characteristic of the benzylammonium radical demonstrated severe damage under low rate (C0 irradiation and negligible change under the high rate (electron) treatment of the invention.
- the decreased chemical damage associated with the high rate electron beam treatment of the invention bears out the results of other experiments, moreover, particularly with proteins. It appears that the rapid quenching of the free radicals formed during the radiation pulse or bursts, ameliorates (in fact may eliminate) secondary damage effects in the system; while those primary damage mechanisms which dominate the bactericidal action are unaltered.
- the extensive lethality studies described with vegetative bacteria, aerobic spore formers, enzymes and virus have confirmed this latter effect; i.e., that the dose required to reduce the micro-organism population by a factor of ten varies little with rate in some cases it has been found to decrease.
- the radiation sensitivities of bacteria and microflora are known to be very dependent upon environment, notably oxygen availability. It is for this reason that parallel comparative studies were performed.
- Plasma proteins and their fractions have been used for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes for many years. Since they are usually used parenterally, a sterile preparation is required. Conventional methods for protein sterilization are not completely satisfactory due to loss of proteins and their relative ineffectiveness in preventing virus contamination. The application of the present electron sterilization for cold treatment of proteins can eliminate losses currently involved in the filtration techniques commonly used. Results from comparative experiments on human fibrinogen and human plasma showed that significant reduction in the destruction of clottable protein in these blood fractions is attainable by the invention (l0 rads/second), as compared with the rads/second treatment level for Co.
- the invention has provided a process whereby materials sensitive to heat or hydrolysis can readily be sterilized without physio-chemical damage to the treated compound.
- a process for bulk sterilization involving selectively destroying viable micro-organisms and the like in a medium but without effecting substantial chemical and physical damage to the medium that comprises, disposing a medium-to-be-sterilized at a predetermined region, said medium being selected of sample thickness of the order of approximately one gram per square centimeter and under, generating pulsed substantially monochromatic electron beams and directing the same to said region substantially uniformly to irradiate the medium, and adjusting the pulses of electron beam energy to produce an irradiation dose of value within the range of from substantially a few tenths to several megarads and with a dose rate greater than substantially l0 rads per second.
