Working Principle Of Ethylene Oxide Sterilizer
The working principle of ethylene oxide sterilizer is to use ethylene oxide gas to sterilize the surface and interior of the object. First, put the items to be sterilized into a sealed sterilization chamber, and then inject the pre-configured ethylene oxide gas into the sterilization chamber. Through a certain time and temperature control, the ethylene oxide gas fully penetrates into every corner of the items, thereby achieving efficient disinfection and sterilization effects. Ethylene oxide sterilizers have the characteristics of good sterilization effect, simple operation, and wide application range. They are often used in medical and laboratory places. They are mainly used for efficient disinfection and sterilization of instruments, consumables, medicines and other items to ensure that they meet hygiene standards.
Ethylene oxide (EO) is a broad-spectrum disinfectant that can kill various microorganisms at room temperature, including spores, tuberculosis bacteria, bacteria, viruses, fungi, etc. It causes the protein to lose its reaction gene by alkylating with the carboxyl group (-COOH), amino group (-NH2), sulfhydryl group (-SH) and hydroxyl group (-OH) on the protein, hindering the normal chemical reaction and metabolism of the protein, thus leading to the death of microorganisms. EO can also inhibit the activity of biological enzymes and effectively kill microorganisms.
In addition, the design of the ethylene oxide sterilizer takes into account a variety of protection functions, including overpressure and overtemperature protection functions, to ensure the safety and reliability of use. The air inlet is equipped with a sterile filter, which can effectively filter out pathogens and microorganisms to avoid secondary contamination during discharge.
