#PNRIupdates: To promote radiation technology in 🇵🇭, the @dost_pnri hosted a technical visit of the JMS Healthcare Philippines, Inc. represented by the current President, Mr. Eiji Sanada, and the General Manager, Mr. Takafumi Kiyono. #nuclearPH #OneDOST4U
As part of the ongoing project on radiation effects on polymer medical devices, the visit was initiated by PNRI's Chemistry Research Section in cooperation with Irradiation Services Section last November 10.
The partnership is spurred by the increased use of radiation sterilization by local manufacturers of medical devices.
The PNRI currently has 2⃣ irradiation facilities: the Multipurpose Gamma Irradiation Facility and the 2.5 MeV Electron Beam Facility, both intended for full-scale research & development & semi-commercial services on food irradiation, surface curing & medical device sterilization.
