*** Reply to note of 08/26/94 10:22 There is this sterilizer that uses microwaves to generate a plasma - this is then fed into the area containing the item to be sterilized and IT'S COLD steri lization! The hospital that is using it says it does a better job then ethylen e oxide gas. I can put you in touch with the company rep if you want. rnross@bcsc02.gov.bc.ca
