Abstract
Devices and methods are disclosed for determining the amount of energy absorbed during irradiation. Such devices comprise a material that absorbs radiation in a quantifiable manner and a cooling agent to maintain the temperature of that material within a predetermined range, and may be used to determine the amount of energy absorbed during irradiation, for example during sterilization of a biological material.
