Spore Ampules are SCBIs consisting of a hermetically sealed glass ampule which contains modified Tryptic Soy Broth (TSB) with a pH indicator and Geobacillus stearothermophilus Cell Line 7953 with a population level of 104. The modified TSB will transition from the initial Purple color to Yellow and/or demonstrate turbidity in the presence of bacterial growth.
Spore Ampules may be utilized to monitor Steam sterilization processes at 121°C to 137°C and are ideal for monitoring liquid steam sterilization cycles but may also be utilized in monitoring dry loads. Spore Ampules are labeled for laboratory/industrial use only.
Population: ≥1.0 x 104 per ampule.
Compliant with USP, ISO 11138-1 and ISO 11138-3.
Compliant with ISO 11138-1.
