The iia webinar ‘Radiation Microbiology, Past, Present, and Future’, held 15th July 2026, is now available to watch back on demand.
This webinar explores key aspects of radiation microbiology, including providing general microbiology fundamentals. As radiation sterilization is a bioburden-based method, understanding and controlling product bioburden is essential. The webinar covers important topics such as the derivation of the Standard Distribution of Resistances and its role in dose establishment methods. In addition, participants will learn about upcoming updates to the ISO radiation standards and the future of microbiology, including rapid microbiological methods.
