3M™ Attest™ Biological Indicators

Source: 3M Life Sciences

3M offers a series of Attest™ Biological Indicators used for validation and routine sterilization monitoring in ethylene oxide (EO) or moist heat processes. These indicators are convenient, compliant, and efficient sterility assurance monitors available in standard 24-48 hour readout, and rapid 1-4 hour readout modes.

The Attest biological indicators are made up of highly resistant, standardized populations of Bacillus atrophaeus for EO sterilization, or geobacillus stearothermophilus or Bacillus stearthermophilus for moist heat sterilization. Reduced incubation time with Attest biological indicator products can improve inventory levels and increase turns. The 3M™ Attest™ Auto-Reader 390 (Steam), 3M™ Attest™ Auto-Reader 390G (EO), and 3M™ Attest™ Biological Indicator Incubators are made available to provide the optimal conditions for accurate readouts of the Attest biological indicators.
