Practical Implementation of
In-House Electron Beam Sterilization

Join the International Irradiation Association (iia) for our upcoming webinar Practical Implementation of In-House Electron Beam Sterilization.

This session explores how in-house e-beam sterilization is advancing radiation processing, giving manufacturers greater control and efficiency. Featuring ATS Life Sciences Systems, Alex Folz will highlight the development of a 5 MeV, self-shielded, in-house e-beam sterilization system. Learn about its core properties, capabilities, and integration into production environments for efficient, on-site sterilization.

Gain practical insight into how in-house e-beam can support compliant, streamlined sterilization in MedTech and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

The webinar will include a live Q&A session and will be recorded for later viewing on the iia website and YouTube channel.

ATS is a proud member of the iia. Learn more about the International Irradiation Association on their website:  https://iiaglobal.com/

Alex Folz
Applications Engineer II,
ATS Lfe Sciences Systems

Alex has spent his career honing his craft in Mechanical Engineering and automation. After completing a B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering from MSOE and an MEng in Mechanical Engineering from Marquette, Alex started as a Systems Design Engineer at ATS after graduation. Through 6 years in Systems Design, Alex spent plenty of time working on both custom machine quotes and integration. For the last 2 years, Alex has worked in Applications with a focus on machine quotes/concepts and front end of the business activity.

Thomas Kroc
United States Representative,
International Irradiation Association (iia)

Thomas retired in 2024 after 35 years at Fermilab. During that time, he combined education and experience in nuclear engineering, accelerator physics, and medical physics to become an expert in accelerator-based sources of radiation for industrial applications, particularly the sterilization of medical devices. Until his retirement, he lead Fermilab’s effort to develop a compact, superconducting accelerator capable of providing electron beams of hundreds of kilowatts to provide megacurie equivalent X-ray beams. He continues to lead an annual workshop on medical device sterilization through his position as Scientist Emeritus at Fermilab.
