2. Sterilization (microbiology) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterilization_(microbiology)

   In medical sterilization, hydrogen peroxide is used at higher concentrations, ranging from around 35% up to 90%. The biggest advantage of hydrogen peroxide as a sterilant is the short cycle time. Whereas the cycle time for ethylene oxide may be 10 to 15 hours, some modern hydrogen peroxide sterilizers have a cycle time as short as 28 minutes. [44]

3. Ethylene oxide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene_oxide

   Ethylene oxide is an organic compound with the formula C 2 H 4 O. It is a cyclic ether and the simplest epoxide: a three-membered ring consisting of one oxygen atom and two carbon atoms. Ethylene oxide is a colorless and flammable gas with a faintly sweet odor.

4. Sterilant gas monitoring - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterilant_Gas_Monitoring

   The odor threshold for these gases is above the PELs and for ethylene oxide it is 500 ppm, approaching that of the IDLH. [1] Odor is thus inadequate as a monitoring technique. Continuous gas monitors are used as part of an overall safety program to provide a prompt alert to nearby workers in the event that there is a leak of the sterilant gas ...

   Sterilization can also be achieved using ethylene oxide (ETO) gas. This process was created in the 1950s by the US military [4] and is used on items that cannot withstand the high temperatures of steam sterilization. ETO sterilization takes far longer than steam sterilization and is hazardous to workers, so alternative methods were created in ...

9. Anprolene - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anprolene

   Anprolene is a registered trade name for ethylene oxide that belongs to Andersen Sterilizers.. Harold Willids Andersen invented Anprolene in 1967 and used plastic bags and small ampoules, hence, substantially less ethylene oxide (EtO) than traditional chamber type sterilizers which employ tanks of EtO.
