How Our Ethylene Oxide Sterilization System Works
- Loading & Preparation: Place items on ventilated shelves inside the chamber.
- Educational Purge Cycle: Preconditioning with vacuum and humidity control.
- ETO Injection: Safe diffusion of ethylene oxide gas into packaging and device crevices.
- Exposure Phase: Precise dwell time ensures microbial inactivation.
- Post-Sterilization Aeration: Pressure cycling and air scrubbing remove EtO residues.
- Unload & Validation: Final microbial and residual testing verifies sterilization efficacy.
ETO Sterilization Cycle Time, Capacity & Throughput
ETO sterilization is a controlled, multi-stage process designed for maximum microbial kill with full material safety. Typical cycles include:
-
Pre-conditioning & humidification
-
Gas exposure phase
-
Aeration & degassing
Depending on product type, packaging, and load size, a standard ETO cycle can range from 8 to 24 hours, with aeration time extending as required to remove residual gas safely.
Batch capacity depends on the selected chamber size and loading configuration. Equilateral Solutions offers multiple chamber volumes to support laboratory-scale batches as well as commercial production loads.
Features & Benefits

Key Features of Our ETO Sterilization Machine
Chamber Design
It can be made from stainless steel or other materials resistant to ETO gas.
Safety Features:
Exhaust systems to remove ETO gas safely after sterilization.
Safety interlocks to prevent opening the chamber during sterilization.
Sterilization Cycle
Gas Introduction: Ethylene oxide gas is introduced into the chamber, mixed with an inert carrier gas (like CO2 or nitrogen) to achieve the desired concentration.
Exposure: The items are exposed to the gas for a specified duration, which can range from several hours to more than a day, depending on the materials and load size.
Aeration: After exposure, the gas is evacuated, and the items are aerated to remove any residual ETO gas. This can take several hours to days to ensure all traces of the gas are removed.
Applications of ETO Sterilization Machine
Healthcare
Used for instruments that cannot be exposed to moisture, like electronic equipment.
