Description

In this paper the status of advanced electron beam service centers is described using the Austrian company Mediscan GmbH as example. Arguments pro and contra product treatment in a service centre against inline processing are discussed and the electron beam process together with design guidelines and process qualification considerations are presented. Product qualification and validation, which plays an important role in electron beam technology is found to be a key competence of a service centre. Criteria for operating a successful service centre conclude this paper. (author)
