Biological indicators are products containing specific live microorganisms, which usually have known and highly stable resistance to specific sterilization processes. It is specifically designed to verify the sterilization of sterilization equipment (such as high-pressure steam sterilizers, ethylene oxide sterilization cabinets, etc.), the sterilization of specific items, and to evaluate the sterilization effect of isolation systems/sterile clean rooms, in order to verify whether the sterilization process is truly effective.

Biological indicator recheck test: The ultimate examiner of sterilization effect
biological indicators process lethality and vapor phase hydrogen peroxide processes
Think of a biological indicator (or BI) as a "challenge test" for your sterilization process. It's a small device containing a high number of specially selected, highly resistant bacterial spores—most commonly Geobacillus stearother mophilus. These spores are like the ultimate survivalists; they are much harder to kill than everyday bacteria and viruses. If the sterilization process can defeat these tough spores, you can be confident it has eliminated all less-resistant contaminants.
The sterilization application of biological indicators in medical institutions
In sterilization program validation, although the sterilization effect can be evaluated by monitoring certain parameters of the sterilization process, the degree of sterilization of biological indicators is the most intuitive indicator for evaluating the effectiveness of a sterilization program.
Biological Indicator Incubator: A Key Device for Sterilization Efficacy Testing
A biological indicator incubator is a constant-temperature cultivation device specifically designed to culture biological indicators that have undergone sterilization processes, verifying whether the sterilization meets standard requirements.
Biological Indicator: A Biological Product for Verifying Sterilization Equipment Performance
Biological indicators (BIs) are specialized live microbial products used to verify the performance of sterilization equipment, validate sterilization procedures, and monitor the effectiveness of sterilization during production processes.
The Application and Benefits of Biological Indicators in the Medical Industry
Biological indicators (BIs) play a crucial role in ensuring sterility and patient safety in the medical field. These specialized tools contain highly resistant bacterial spores that provide definitive proof of sterilization effectiveness. Hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, and medical device manufacturers rely on BIs to validate sterilization processes and comply with stringent regulatory standards.
LISTER Rapid biological indicator:3-hour Ultra Super Rapid Ethylene Oxide
The LBE180 Rapid Biological Indicator, when used with an automatic reader (incubation temperature 35-39°C), provides a fluorescence test result in a short period (LBE180-180 minutes) with an accuracy of ≥97%.
Biological Indicators for Autoclave: How to Use
Biological indicators (BIs) provide the highest assurance of autoclave sterilization effectiveness by using live bacterial spores (Geobacillus stearothermophilus) as a direct challenge.
