AX110 – Rapid Biological Indicator for Ethylene Oxide (EO)
More InfoIndicators Specific to Ethylene Oxide Sterilization
Ethylene oxide (EO) is a gas-based method used to sterilize heat-sensitive medical devices at low temperatures. EO biological indicators contain Bacillus atrophaeus spores, resistant to this method — a different organism than steam indicators, since resistance profiles vary by sterilization method.
Product Options
AX10 offers standard read time, while AX110 is designed for rapid results.
Where It's Used
Facilities sterilizing heat-sensitive items such as endoscopes, implants, and electronic components with EO should verify every cycle with these indicators.
