Biological & Chemical Indicators

Biological indicators (BIs) are used to monitor ethylene oxide (EO) gas sterilization processes for medical devices. Raven Biological Indicators are easy to use microbiological instruments that are used in various industrial or health-care use. They are also used in assisting in validating the sterilization process. We offer best quality Biological indicators to address the unique requirements of the medical device and pharmaceutical industries.

Some of the important features of the Biological indicators are:

• Used to evaluate the effectiveness of sterilization processes.
  
• Essential in performing sterilization cycle validation.
  
• Used for ethylene oxide gas, dry heat, steam and radiation sterilization processes.
  
• Available in a wide range of organisms, populations and packaging.
  
• Available as strips (standard size or mini), discs, suspensions, self-contained, ampoule's and custom configurations.

Range:

• 10 ^6 Geobacillus Steraothermophilus
• ATCC 7953 spore Strips
• 10 ^6 Geobacillus Stearothemophilus
• ATCC 7953 ( 4ml Amp)
• 10 ^6 Geobacillus Stearothemophilus
• ATCC 7953 ( 1ml Amp) With negative Control
• 10^6 Bacillus Atropheaus ATCC 9372 spore Strips
• Spore suspension

Chemical indicators are single-use consumables that support a health-care facility's quality assurance program by confirming the conditions required for sterilization have been achieved within a sterilizer. Chemical Indicators CIs come in a wide variety of sizes, shapes, and styles. Typically, they are can be categorized as- external and internal.

External indicators are designed to provide the handler and user with a visual indication that the item was exposed to a specific sterilant. They are often in the form of tape, small cards, or dye spots on the exterior of medical packaging. External indicators change color when exposed to a specific sterilant and that color change provides evidence that the item was processed.

Internal indicators also provide evidence of the presence of a sterilant. However, internal indicators are placed inside each package prior to sterilization and measure the penetration of the sterilant into the pack. This measurement is designed to provide the package user with evidence that a sterilant was present inside the pack. Internal indicators can detect packaging and placement failures such as air entrapment, incorrect packaging selection and/or application, and improper loading of the sterilizer.

Our products deliver accurate identifications for a wide range of organisms from environmental sources.Innovation was early introduced with the manual API^® identification strip and continues with the automated advanced colorimetric identification, the VITEK^® 2 Compact launched in 2005.

Our experience  in the evolution of identification products allows bioMérieux to be the Reference in routine pharmaceutical identification and to meet your needs in the agri-food industries.

 

 

It includes 15 identification systems covering all groups of bacteria encountered in industrial microbiology laboratories: Listeria, Staphylococci, Enterobacteriaceae and non fermenting Gram negative rods, Bacillus, Lactobacillus…

API can identify over 600 different species. Over its 30 years of existence, API has gained invaluable experience in bacterial identification: around 1000 different biochemical tests in routine use, an in depth knowledge of bacterial metabolisms and expertise in manufacturing techniques.
