Quantum EBX

In addition to helping medical device and labware companies navigate through their product sterilization options, Peter founded quantum EBX to explore and develop high-energy x-ray applications to help provide a robust and sustainable solution for contract sterilization operations of the future. With over 30 years of electron beam experience, Mr. B... aker is leveraged to use his technical knowledge and quality-driven process industry methodology, and couple it with the modern technology that will make high-energy x-ray the de facto sterilization modality for years to come. "The first electron beam sterilization operation was built in 1956, only to be shut down a few years later because of poor reliability. Electron beam technology has gotten a bad rap ever since. To this day, the stigma of poor reliability still lingers.Today, a mobile phone is more powerful than the accelerator control and diagnostics systems of the 1950's era. You only have to consider that the first color television was invented in 1953, and the transistor radio debuted a year later in 1954. Industrial accelerator technology was just not ready in 1956. Times have changed, but remarkably, the contract sterilization landscape has not. Ethylene Oxide (EO) and Gamma (CO-60) are the two most common sterilization modalities used today. Continued innovation and growth in the healthcare sector requires additional global sterilization capacity, but CO-60 is in short supply, and the use of EO is under intense scrutiny. Luckily, the advancement of technology has led to the availability of electron beam and x-ray systems that are safe, reliable, and cost-effective. The stage is set, and although this is the 2nd act for ebeam and x-ray, I expect the outcome will be much different than the 1st."Read More
