Crosstex SporView® Self-Contained Biological Indicators (SCBIs) for monitoring Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide (VH2O2) sterilization processes provide fast, visible, consistent and reliable results offering peace of mind for assurance of effective sterilization. Use of Crosstex’s distinctively designed SCBI system reduces the possibility of contamination and minimizes the potential for false positives associated with post-exposure transfer. Crosstex SporView® SCBIs consist of a thermoplastic vial and a white cap, a crushable glass ampule with an exclusively formulated Trypticase® Soy Broth (TSB) modified with pH indicator, and a glass fiber disc inoculated with Geobacillus stearothermophilus spores.
