Attest™ Biological Indicators are test strips used to monitor the sterilization process and ensure all spores were killed. A nonpathogenic but highly resistant spore, Geobacillus stearothermophilus, is used to provide a maximum challenge to the steam sterilization process.
- Self-contained biological indicators
- Spore burden beyond the average bioburden 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 24-48 hours versus one-week, mail-in services
