AUTOCLAVE BIOLOGICAL GROWTH MONITORING
About test
What does AUTOCLAVE BIOLOGICAL GROWTH MONITORING measure?
This test evaluates the effectiveness of an autoclave sterilization cycle by checking biological indicators for microbial growth after processing. Growth may indicate that sterilization conditions were not sufficient to inactivate resistant spores. It may be used for routine quality monitoring, validation of sterilization procedures, and investigation of possible autoclave performance concerns.
