Leachables via sterilization: Gamma versus X-ray sterilization methods

[Robertgibson82]

Hello. Does anyone have information regarding the difference in extractable profiles when a plastic material is irradiated with X-rays as opposed to Gamma?

Hi @Robertgibson82,

Good speaking with you last week on E&L. This is a great question and off the top of my head I don't know! I spoke with a collaborator and they mentioned looking into doing a study on this very topic for medical device E&L studies. Let me do a bit of digging into the literature and also bring some colleagues into the discussion on this topic.
