Custom MesaStrip – Ethylene Oxide
Product Description
Custom MesaStrip Ethylene Oxide consists of a paper microstrip inoculated with a sterilization-resistant spore population packaged in a glassine envelope, or bulk without an envelope. The glassine envelope serves as a microbial barrier which protects the spore strip from post sterilization contamination.
Models
- A1X25/6 (100 x 106 microstrips, bulk)
- A1X25/6G (100 x 106 microstrips in glassine)
- A2X10/6 (100 x 106 microstrips, bulk)
- A2X10/6G (100 x 106 microstrips in glassine)
Technical Parameters
Organism | Bacillus atrophaeus 93721 |
Spore Count | t ≥1.0 x 101 |
D-Value | ≥ 2.0 minute |
Z-Value | NA |
Incubation | Time: 7 days Temperature: 30-35oC Media: SCDB |
Storage | Room temperature. Do not desiccate |
Shelf-Life | 24 months from date of manufacture |
Nominal Dimensions | Strip: 1 x 25mm or 2 x 10mm Envelope: 25 x 76mm |
1 or equivalent recognized culture collection strain
Indications for Use
Custom MesaStrip Ethylene Oxide is a biological indicator (BI) microstrip used in monitoring the efficacy of Ethylene Oxide (EO) sterilization processes where traditional BIs are too large.
Packaging
Custom MesaStrips are available in bags of 100 individual glassine-wrapped microstrips or bulk microstrips directly packaged into a foil pouch.
Labeling
- The glassine envelopes are labeled with product type, organism, lot number and expiration date.
- Each bag contains a self-adhesive label on the outside to further identify the product.
