In-house sterilization by electron beam (EB) radiation of various plastic consumables (plastic petridishes, micro centrifugal tubes and screw-capped vials) used routinely in the lab was studied by use of three microbiological cultures (S. aureus, Bacillus subtilis and Candida albicans). Current international standards (ISO 11137-Part 2 -ISO, 2011) recommend an irradiation dose of 25 kGy as a reference dose for terminal sterilization. All containers were exposed in an ILU-6, 2 MeV, 20 kW, Pulse EB accelerator located in our complex. Sterility test (S.T.) was performed and results revealed that 10⁶ and 10⁷ population of all strains passed whereas 10⁸ population failed S.T. for all micro-organisms indicating the potential of 2 MeV EB for commercial sterilization of plastic lab consumables for up to 10⁷ population of these microorganisms.`
