This question follows from the last question The D value for a resistant strain of bacterial spores is 0.5 kGy when radiation sterilised. Usually, a 60Co source delivers a 25 kGy dose in 10 minutes and is used to sterilise syringes where the typical contamination level is 100 bacteria per syringe. What is the minimum time required to ensure a SAL of 10 6 is achieved?
