Biological indicators are the only method that indicates the sterilization process was effective and the spores were killed. A nonpathogenic but highly resistant spore, Geobacillus sterothermophilus is used to provide a maximum challenge to the steam sterilization process.

Product Benefits

  • Self-contained biological indicators.
  • Design provides a maximum challenge to various steam sterilization cycles.
  • A spore burden beyond the average bioburden (germ count) provides an extra margin of safety.
  • Optimized media promote rapid growth of spores.
  • Definitive color change of the media indicates sterilization process ineffectiveness.
  • Quick verification time of 24 hours (1261) or 48 hours (1262) versus one-week mail-in services.
