Mesa Labs white paper

Developing a proper sterilization cycle is key to producing sterile and functional products. Increasingly, pharmaceutical and medical device products are becoming sensitive to heat, therefore, softer cycles or different sterilants are necessary. 

A biological indicator is a test system that contains viable microorganisms and provides direct evidence of sterility, as it challenges the sterilizer’s ability to kill calibrated strains of highly resistant spore-forming organisms.

This white paper from Mesa Labs dives into the history of biological indicators and their uses throughout the sterilization life cycle.

In this white paper you will:

  • Understand why biological indicators are the gold standard of lethality indicators
  • Learn about proper biological indicator use throughout the sterilization life cycle, including cycle development, cycle validation, and routine monitoring
  • Understand your sterilization cycle, the development of biological indicators and their proper use
