The envelope containing Bionova® Spore Strip is specifically

designed for the monitoring of Ethylene Oxide (EO)

sterilization processes or for dry heat sterilization processes.

Spore strips should be incubated in Bionova® MC1030 growth

medium tube or in appropriate growth medium for Bacillus

atrophaeus ATCC 9372 growth. If the sterilization process was

not successful, MC1030 growth medium will turn to yellow

after incubation @ 37±2 ºC, thus indicating the existence of

living Bacillus atrophaeus spores on the strip.

If the sterilization process was successful, MC1030 indicating

medium will remain its original color. A final readout should

therefore be performed after 48 hours of growth medium

incubation @ 37±2 ºC.
