Frequently asked questions
Are these strips reliable for testing sterilization cycles?
Yes, these biological indicators are precision-engineered with a 10^6 population level of Bacillus atrophaeus spores, ensuring rigorous and reliable monitoring for your sterilization processes.
Can I use these for both EO gas and dry heat?
Absolutely. These strips are specifically engineered for versatile use in both Ethylene Oxide (EO) gas and dry heat sterilization environments, covering a wide temperature range of 129° to 320°F (54° to 160°C).
Are the strips easy to handle without contamination?
Yes, each strip is individually packaged in a protective glassine pouch. This design allows you to easily peel or tear the pouch for clean, convenient transfer to culture media while minimizing the risk of contamination.
Is this product suitable for dental and medical clinics?
Yes, these are essential tools for sterile processing departments, dental offices, and medical clinics that need to perform routine verification of sterilization equipment performance to maintain high infection prevention standards.
Can I use these for a facility-wide monitoring program?
Certainly. They are perfectly suited for recurring facility-wide infection prevention monitoring programs, providing the consistent data necessary to ensure your sterilization equipment remains compliant with safety standards.
How long does it take to process the results?
The incubation processing time for these biological indicator strips is 48 to 72 hours.
What microorganism is used for the testing?
These indicators utilize the highly resistant organism Bacillus atrophaeus, which is the industry standard for verifying the efficacy of EO gas and dry heat sterilization cycles.
Will these strips fit in standard challenge devices?
The strips measure 7 mm x 38 mm (approximately 1-1/2 inches). Their slim dimensions make them ideal for integration into standard challenge devices or custom assemblies for your facility’s monitoring program.
Are these indicators new from the factory?
Yes, all our Crosstex biological indicator strips are provided as Factory New stock.
Do I need special equipment to transfer the strips?
No special equipment is required. The glassine pouches are designed for a simple manual peel or tear, allowing you to transfer the spore strip directly into your culture media or test assembly safely.
