Get SterilAmp II - Biological Indicators - Mesa Labs

STERIS biological indicators are available in two different species of spores, Bacillus atrophaeus for ethylene oxide (EO) and dry heat applications, and Geobacillus stearothermophilus for steam sterilization applications. STERIS also offers custom sterilization indicatorsmade to specifications.

Bionova® BT30 Biological Indicator is specially designed for monitoring Dry Heat sterilization processes at 160-180 ºC . If the sterilization process was not successful, the culture medium will change from blue to yellow after incubation at 37±2 °C, thus indicating the presence of living Bacillus atrophaeus spores.

Biological indicators, or spore tests, are the most accepted means of monitoring sterilization because they assess the sterilization process directly by killing known highly resistant microorganisms (e.g., Geobacillus or Bacillus species).

Biological indicator – Dry heat Sterilisation (Oven) Sterilisation with dry heat (dry sterilisation) takes place in an oven, in which the air must be able to circulate. It is the direct temperature effect, i.e. the irreversible denaturation of cell components, which destroys microorganisms present.

sporogenes, B. subtilis, or B. atrophaeus are chosen as biological indicators. These spore-forming microorganisms are also preferred for verifying the sterilization of aqueous solutions due to their lower thermal resistance.

Biological indicators, or spore tests, are the most accepted means of monitoring sterilization because they assess the sterilization process directly by killing known highly resistant microorganisms (e.g., Geobacillus or Bacillus species).

Microbial biomass, fungi, actinomycetes, lichens, as well as the population of earthworms, nematodes, termites, and ants can be used as bioindicators on account of their important role in nutrient cycling, specific soil fertility, soil development, and soil conservation (Anderson, 2003).

The effectiveness of steam sterilization is monitored with a biological indicator containing spores of Geobacillus stearothermophilus (formerly Bacillus stearothermophilus).

Traditionally, ethylene oxide sterilization processes are routinely monitored with biological indicators that are composed of the microorganism Bacillus atrophaeus, usually inoculated onto a 1.5 X 0.25 inch paper carrier. A good example of a biological indicator is the Spordex® (STERIS) bacterial test strip.
