Although several gases will kill bacteria (ethylene oxide, formaldehyde, propylene oxide), ethylene oxide is the one which has been most widely adopted for pharmaceuticals, instruments, and dressings. Sterilisation by ethylene oxide involves either a gas concentration of 10-20% with an inert gas such as carbon dioxide or nitrogen, or the gas in a pure state. The dilution method is usually preferred, particularly as ethylene oxide can form an explosive mixture with air. 

The oxidation of mixtures of ethylene with ethylene oxide, formaldehyde and acetaldehyde on a stationary surface of a silver catalyst that was under operation for several hundred hours is of a different nature. The reaction rates for mixtures of radioactive ethylene with ethylene oxide, as well as with formaldehyde and acetaldehyde, are shown in Fig. 7. Oxidation proceeded under dynamic conditions at 220°. 

In the presence of ethylene oxide, formaldehyde, and acetaldehyde, the rate of ethylene consumption remains unchanged. There is also no inhibition of ethylene oxide formation at its gas-phase concentration of about 1%. This is probably due to the blocking off of the most active surface sites. 

A variety of methods are available and include the use of ethylene oxide, formaldehyde, peracetic add, hydrogen peroxide or chlorine dioxide.

Classical sterilisation techniques using an autoclave and saturated steam under pressure, hot water or dry heat are practical and reliable. Other reliable sterilisation methods include membrane filtration, ionising radiatirm sterilisation (gamma and electron-beam radiation) and gas sterilisation (ethylene oxide, formaldehyde). Sterilisation equipment (autoclaves, membrane filters, and other sterilisers) is often used in industrial manufacturing, in preparation in pharmacies, and in other healthcare establishments. Standard sterilisation processes are described in the Ph. Eur., in other current Pharmacopoeias, in ISO standards and National guidelines.
