GDL Biological Indicators

Great Divide Labs offers a range of indicators to help verify the effectiveness of bio-decontamination cycles. Biological indicators (BI) ensure that a bio-decontamination process has achieved the expected efficacy.

Features of GDL Biological Indicator in Tyvek Pouch:

• Geobacillus  stearothermophilus 12980: Specifically recommended for hydrogen peroxide vapor bio-decontamination.
• Testing: Each batch is enumerated, D-value tested, and undergoes species identification.
• Specially Designed Coupon: Rigorous manufacturing process minimizes the risk of false positives.
• High Porosity Medical Grade Tyvek Pouch: Enables rapid hydrogen peroxide vapor penetration to the coupon.
• Easy Handling: Pouches are designed for quick hanging of the BIs.
• Consistent Results: Ensures a 6-log sporicidal kill is accurately achieved.
• 1 Year Expiration
• Room Temperature Storage

GDL BIs are specifically designed for hydrogen peroxide vapor process. Each BI is inoculated with Geobacillus stearothermophilus ATCC 12980 endospores, providing assurance that a 6-log sporicidal kill is achieved during every bio-decontamination cycle. These spores are the most resistant to hydrogen peroxide vapor. Each GDL BI is manufactured to ensure the highest level of consistency and reliability.

Great Divide Labs offers a 304 stainless steel strip. Designed for use as a naked BI where concerns exist with the ability of H2O2 (atomized, aerosolized, fogged, etc.) to adequately penetrate primary packaging (e.g., Tyvek envelope) during decontamination processes. The strip BI is ideal for placing the spore challenge in tight locations during cycle development and validation activities.

The Sterile Transfer Pouch from Great Divide Labs is designed to enable safe and aseptic handling of stainless steel strip biological indicators after exposure in hydrogen peroxide vapor (VHP) bio-decontamination processes.

The transfer pouch is identical in construction to the original packaging of the stainless steel strips but contains no indicator. Each pouch is empty and sterilized via a validated VHP cycle. It is intended for use together with stainless steel strips used as “naked” biological indicators.

When stainless steel strip BIs cannot be aseptically transferred directly after exposure, the sterile transfer pouch provides a controlled solution. The exposed strip is placed into the sterile pouch and can then be safely transferred to a clean hood or laboratory environment for subsequent culturing and analysis.

This solution supports reliable handling during cycle development, validation, and routine monitoring of hydrogen peroxide vapor bio-decontamination processes, particularly where primary packaging is avoided to ensure direct spore exposure.

Key benefits:

• Sterilized via validated VHP cycle
• Designed specifically for use with stainless steel strip (“naked”) BIs
• Enables safe post-exposure transfer when aseptic handling is challenging
• Supports GMP-compliant bio-decontamination validation workflows
