Products -> SterilFlex™ Biological Indicator

Coming soon!

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
