Self-Contained Spore Ampoules for Liquid Steam Sterilization Monitoring


Biological Indicators for Liquid Loads in Steam Autoclaves

Monitor liquid steam sterilization processes with self-contained spore ampoules designed for laboratory and industrial applications. These biological indicators contain a certified spore population and growth medium within a sealed ampoule, providing a reliable method for verifying sterilization effectiveness in liquid loads and dry loads processed in steam autoclaves operating between 121°C and 137°C.

The Biological Indicators Self-Contained Spore Ampoule features a Log spore population and is specifically designed for challenging sterilization validation applications. Results are interpreted through color change and turbidity following incubation in a compatible Bionova IC10 or IC20 incubator.


Important Shipping Information:
Due to temperature-sensitive storage requirements, all spore ampoules must remain refrigerated and are shipped UPS Overnight with ice packs.
