Spore Suspensions

Crosstex manufactures a wide range of Spore Suspensions utilized in Ethylene Oxide (EO) and Dry Heat sterilization processes. The Spore Suspensions are pure suspensions of spores with known resistance characteristics and a variety of population levels standardized per 0.1 mL. The Spore Suspensions allow for direct inoculation of products, typically to verify sterility of devices where a traditional biological indicator spore strip cannot be used. They can also be used for a variety of other microbiological tests including cleaning effectiveness studies, Bioburden percent recovery and Bacteriostasis/Fungistasis (BF) testing.
