Steam Sterilization Biological Indicator

Biological indicator for steam sterilization are test systems containing viable microorganisms providing a defined resistance to a specific sterilization process. A biological indicator provides information on whether necessary conditions were met to kill a specified number of microorganisms for a given sterilization process, providing a level of confidence in the process.

Product Introduction

Biological indicator

Biological indicator for steam sterilization are test systems containing viable microorganisms providing a defined resistance to a specific sterilization process. Abiological indicator for steam sterilization provides information on whether necessary conditions were met to kill a specified number of microorganisms for a given sterilization process, providing a level of confidence in the process.

Biological indicators for steam sterilization contains bacterial spores on a filter-paper carrier packaged within a small, thermoplastic culture tube. Inside the thermoplastic culture tube is a sealed-glass ampoule of specially-formulated strains digest culture medium containing a color indicator which turns a dramatic color change when spores grow.

They are often used for routine monitoring, qualification and load monitoring of a steam sterilizer. for biological indicator for steam sterilization are designed to demonstrate whether the conditions during a steam (autoclave) cycle were adequate to achieve a defined level of microbial inactivation.

Advantages:

● Self-contained designing

Greatly decrease the risk of cross-infection, avoid the wrong result of positive and increase the correct rate of testing.
