SterilFlex is a glass-free, liquid
submersible biological indicator (BI) designed specifically for manufacturers of thermally processed
food products. The SterilFlex BI is safe, rugged, and small enough to be placed into a can for retort processing or directly into
a thermal continuous flow system.
The SterilFlex BI consists of calibrated spore-forming microorganisms suspended in a specially formualted culture medium sealed in a small,
flexible-plastic capsule. Designed to be easy to use, the SterilFlex BI requires no special laboratory processing and provides visual
color-change results after only 48 hours of incubation. If any spores survive the process, the culture medium turns a dramatic yellow.
The SterilFlex BI can be calibrated to result in the total kill of test organisms at a specified F0
