The data collected in this study are being submitted to facilitate ISO development of a globally accepted RIT protocol.
Analysis of nearly 4000 data points indicated that there is an inverse relationship between the number of surviving
spores on a BI and the overall incubation time needed for a nonsterile result to be detected.
This study was co-authored by SGM Biotech, and data was collected in the Smart-Well Incubator. Republished with permission from Pharmaceutical Technology.

The Smart-Read™ system allows the release of sterile product with true biological confirmation faster and easier than ever before. This unique system uses a real biological indicator -- with no added enzyme or chemical integrator -- which is incubated, evaluated, and documented in one simple, automated operation. Based on familiar, proven technology, all results are 100% verifiable by the operator.
The Smart-Read system includes the Smart-Read EZTest self-contained biological indicator for steam which is specially designed for rapid evaluation in the advanced Smart-Well® incubator. |
