Pharmaceutical Biological Indicator For 6-Log Reduction: HPV-BI

Bioquell HPV-BI is a biological indicator that has been specifically designed for HPV bio-decontamination processes. It is inoculated with 6-log Geobacillus stearothermophilus ATCC 12980 endospores to provide assurance that a 6-log reduction of the bioburden is achieved on every HPV bio-decontamination cycle. HPV-specific biological indicators are commonly inoculated with bacterial endospores due to their resistance to many different decontamination processes, including HPV.

Bioquell HPV-BI has been designed to be a high-quality, consistent and reliable biological indicator. The Bioquell HPV-BI inoculum is produced from a traceable type culture stain (ATCC 12980) and prior to inoculation on the carrier disc, the endospores undergo a set of intricate cleaning steps to remove surplus media and cellular debris. In addition, the shape and surface finish of the carrier disc facilitates the even distribution of the spores across the disc.

Each batch of Bioquell HPV-BI is thoroughly tested to ensure a consistent biological challenge for HPV bio-decontamination processes. Bioquell HPV-BIs are shipped with a certificate of analysis that specifies the number of microorganisms on each carrier disc and the D-value (or decimal reduction time in minutes required for a 1-log - 90% - reduction of the microorganisms under specified lethal conditions). Batch lot numbers are also marked on each biological indicator for product traceability.
