Hydrogen Peroxide Biological Indicator
The JPS Hydrogen Peroxide (VH2O2/Plasma) Biological Indicator provides critical lethality testing for vaporized hydrogen peroxide sterilization cycles. These self-contained BIs utilize highly resistant *Geobacillus stearothermophilus* spores to ensure your low-temperature sterilization processes are fully effective.
- Optimized Resistance: Uses *Geobacillus stearothermophilus* (ATCC 7953) specifically calibrated for VH2O2.
- Self-Contained Convenience: Combines spores and specialized media in a single, safe vial.
- Clear Interpretation: Distinct color change in the growth media indicates a sterilization failure.
- Process Indicator Label: Built-in chemical indicator on the vial label turns from Red to Yellow when processed.
- Standard Compliance: Fully conforms to ISO 11138 standards.
Product Data Sheet
Download IFU & Certification (PDF)Rigorous Testing for Low-Temperature Sterilization
Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide (VH2O2) and plasma sterilization are essential for heat-sensitive instruments. The JPS VH2O2 Biological Indicator provides the necessary assurance that these complex, low-temperature cycles have successfully achieved sterility.
The self-contained design features a glass ampoule of specialized growth media inside a plastic vial containing the spore disc. After the sterilization cycle, the ampoule is crushed, allowing the media to contact the spores. If any spores survive, they will ferment the media during incubation, causing a distinct color change (typically Purple to Yellow).
