Product Description


Biological Indicator | Bowie Dick Test Pack |  Sterilization Process Challenge Device | LISTER BIOMEDICAL CO.,LTD

Self-Contained Biological Indicators consist of:


✅ A plastic pipe and cap. The cap with a hole is placed on top of  the pipeto allow the sterilizing 

agent to penetrate into the  indicator. Between pipe and cap there is a filter paper which is  used 

to avoid pollution. 


✅ A crushable media ampule which  contains modified culture mediumwith a pH indicator and  

fluorogenic substrates. The modified culture mediumwill  transition from the initial Purple color 

to Yellow in the presence  of bacterial growth. 


✅ An inoculated carrier of Geobacillus  stearothermop hilus ATCC 7953 is located at the bottom 

closed  end of the pipe. 


✅ A barrier is positioned like a plug between the  carrier and the ampule.


✅ The LBS180 Biological Indicator, when used with an automatic  reader(incubation temperature 56-60°C), 

provides a fluorescence test result in a short period(180 minutes) with an accuracy of ≥97%. As an option 

the user can continue the  incubation for 48 hours in order to confirm visually the stability  or color change 

of the culture medium.


✅ The label on the outside of the plastic pipe contains a Type 1 chemical indicator strip.
