An optional visual pH color change confirmation could be made after 48 hours of incubation. If sterilization process has not been successful, culture medium will change to a greenish color first, and then to yellow during incubation at 60 ºC, thus showing the presence of living spores. If sterilization process is successful culture medium will remain purple after the incubation process. Please review the instructions for use for applicable cycles in your country
7-day readout is optional and not intended to be routinely performed; it is an initial validation of the 20 minute-reading. Fluorescence results may be compared to the 7-day visual reading.
NOTE: if 7-day readout is performed, a humidified environment will be required to avoid medium to dry out. D-Value: Not lower than 1.5 minutes at 121 ºC. Another D-value is informed at 132ºC and at 135ºC. Z-Value is informed.
