SterilAmp^® Micro/5mm

Small diameter. Simple validation. Confident results.

Simplifying Steam Sterilization Validation for Small Liquid Containers

SterilAmp® Micro/5mm is a compact, self-contained liquid biological indicator (BI) designed for steam sterilization validation of liquids in very small primary containers where standard BI formats cannot be placed.

With its 5.0 mm diameter, SterilAmp® Micro/5mm enables BI placement directly at the most challenging (worst-case) location within the liquid product container, supporting representative, repeatable, and compliant validation without container modification.

Key Benefits

Ultra-Small Diameter: SterilAmp Micro/5mm features a 5.0 mm diameter, enabling placement inside small volume prefilled syringes, cartridges, narrow-neck ampoules, small vials, and IV fluid bag ports.
Direct Placement at the Worst-Case Location: Enables the biological indicator to be positioned directly within the liquid product container at the most challenging thermal location, supporting representative and repeatable validation without container modification.
Simplified and Controlled Validation: Reduces reliance on variable and difficult-to-control approaches such as direct product inoculation using a spore suspension, use of inoculated spore strips immersed in the product, surrogate containers, or container modification. Fewer handling steps reduce variability, test complexity, and operational risk.
Clear Results. No Negative Controls Required: Provides a clear visual readout after incubation. The optimized growth medium prevents heat-induced color change during sterilization, eliminating the need for negative controls and simplifying result interpretation.
