What is the difference between low temperature plasma sterilizer and ethylene oxide sterilizer?
At present, the most widely used low temperature sterilizer on the market is the low temperature plasma sterilizer, ethylene oxide sterilizer and low temperature formaldehyde sterilizer. So today, let's talk about low temperature plasma sterilizer and ethylene oxide sterilizer.
Each hospital disinfection supply center, will have a low temperature plasma sterilizer, then the question arises, what is the advantage of it. Would it be so popular with the market?
One of the biggest differences between low temperature plasma sterilizer and ethylene oxide sterilizer is the different sterilization time. The low temperature PLASMA sterilizer TAKES ONLY 25-55 minutes TO STERILize each time, while THE ethylene OXIDE sterilIZER TAKES 6-8 hours. This sterilization time for the hospital, the shorter time is undoubtedly more advantageous.
The sterilization time of low temperature plasma sterilizer is indeed short, but its sterilization effect is not as thorough as that of ethylene oxide sterilizer. In other words, the ethylene oxide sterilizer is worthy of its sterilization time.
In addition, the sterilization methods used by the two are also different. The low-temperature plasma sterilizer uses hydrogen peroxide solution combined with plasma to achieve a sterilization effect. The ethylene oxide sterilizer uses ethylene oxide gas under vacuum low temperature environment to inhibit the growth of microorganisms, so as to achieve the sterilization effect. In short, there are more advantages and disadvantages.
If it is a hospital disinfection supply center, the low temperature plasma sterilizer is undoubtedly more suitable than the ethylene oxide sterilizer. But for disposable medical masks and protective clothing, it is the advantage of ethylene oxide sterilizer.
