Advancing Healthcare Through Proven Gas Sterilization Tech

Chlorine dioxide combines the best attributes of alternative gas and vapor sterilization methods—complete penetration, ambient temperature processing, and rapid cycles—while eliminating the fundamental drawbacks that limit other gaseous methods. Our low temperature sterilization process provides sterilization without temperature degradation, making it ideal for cold chain sterilization and temperature-sensitive sterilization requirements.
