SporAmpule® Liquid Biological Indicators (BIs) provide a reliable and easy-to-interpret verification system for steam sterilization processes. Each self-contained ampule contains a standardized population of Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores suspended in a nutrient growth medium with a color indicator.

After exposure to a steam sterilization cycle, the ampules are incubated at 55–60°C for 48 hours to verify lethality. A purple-to-yellow color change with turbidity indicates viable spore growth and a failure of the sterilization cycle, while no color change confirms successful sterilization.

Designed for accuracy, consistency, and error-free handling, SporAmpule® BI systems support routine monitoring, cycle qualification, and regulatory compliance in laboratories, pharmaceutical facilities, medical device manufacturing, and healthcare sterilization departments.

Key Features
• Self-contained biological indicator ampules for steam sterilization verification
• Utilizes Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores for industry-standard testing
• Clear color-change readout: purple to yellow with turbidity indicates sterilization failure
• Incubation at 55–60°C for 48 hours provides rapid, reliable results
• Ideal for routine monitoring, validation, and regulatory compliance
• Individually housed ampules reduce risk of contamination and handling errors

Applications
• Steam sterilizer (autoclave) performance monitoring
• Validation and qualification cycles
• Bioburden reduction verification
• Clinical, research, pharma, and medical device sterilization

Included
• 20 SporAmpule® biological indicator ampules
