📝 Product Description
Steam Biological Indicator

The Steam Biological indicator is specially designed for monitoring steam sterilization processes. If the sterilization process is unsuccessful, after incubation at 60±2°C, the color of the medium will change from purple to yellow or its shades, indicating the presence of still viable Geobacillus stearothermophilus (ATCC 7953) spores.

If successful, there will be no color change after incubation. The final readout should be taken after 24-48 hours of incubation at 60±2°C.

  • Compliant with ISO 11138-1:2017 and ISO 11138-3:2017 standards.
  • Do not use for ETO, dry heat, formaldehyde, or hydrogen peroxide sterilization.
  • Single-use only; do not reuse.
