Bioprocess Monitoring Tools
3M Purification offers a full line of bioprocess monitoring tools, the Attest series. The Attest incubators provide optimal conditions for the accurate readout of Attest biological indicators.
Biological Indicator System
Attest Rapid Readout Biological Indicator for Ethylene Oxide
3M Attest Rapid Readout biological indicator system for use with ethylene oxide (EtO) sterilization processing is a proprietary technology that provides the fastestbiological indicator result available. 3M Attest Rapid Readout provides results in as little as four hours post-processing.
• Highly resistant, standardized population of Bacillus atrophaeus spores for EtO
• Provides all of the benefits of self-contained technology plus results in four hours
• Reduced incubation can improve inventory levels and increase turns
• Meets FDA classification as a biological indicator
• Complies with ISO and ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11138:2006, Parts 1 and 2
Attest™ 293G and 290G Auto-readers
3M 293G and 290G Auto-readers are designed to incubate and automaticallyread the fluorescence of the Attest 1294-S Rapid Readout Biological Indicator in 4 hours. The large capacity 3M Attest 293G Auto-reader is designed specifically for industrial sterilization processing.
• Automatic readout with visual display of indicator result
• The 293G has a 36 well capacity and the 290G has a 12 well capacity
• Developed with significant input from leading medical device manufacturers
• Can help streamline your sterilization monitoring process
• Incubates at 37°C ± 2°C
Conventional, Self-contained Biological Indicators
Attest™ Biological Indicators for Ethylene Oxide (EtO) Sterilization
3M developed the first self-contained biological indicators to reduce contamination from improper transfer technique.
• Highly resistant, standardized population of Bacillus atrophaeus spores for EtO
• Conventional self-contained technology benefits:
– Simplistic culturing
– Minimizes false positives due to contamination
– Cost-effective
• Routinely documented for incubation times of less than seven days (typically 48 hours)
• Complies with ISO and ANSI/AAMI/ISO 11138:2006, Parts 1 and 2
Attest™ Biological Indicator Incubator
Attest Incubators provide optimal conditions for accurate readout of Attest 1264-S Biological Indicators.
• Convenient, 28-vial capacity visible from above
• Dry-block design pre-set to proper incubation temperature
