Biological Indicator Products and Services
SGM Biotech manufactures a wide array of self-contained and traditional biological indicators to monitor most common sterilization processes: steam, low temperature steam formaldehyde, ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, dry heat, chlorine dioxide, hydrogen peroxide, and gamma radiation.
We can also create custom indicators to meet your unique sterilization monitoring requirements. In addition, we have an entire laboratory dedicated to contract studies where we can perform D-value and SEM studies with your specific products.
All products with incubation times of less than 7 days meet the FDA protocol for Reduced Incubation Time (RIT).
Biological Indicators
Highlight biological indicators by process:
steam / flash - steam sterilization of liquids - EtO - formaldehyde
hydrogen peroxide - radiation - dry heat - propylene oxide - chlorine dioxide - thermal food processing
 |
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. |
