Autoclave Testing Service, Inc. has provided verified test reports of biological spore testing for over 22 years.

Our test reports are pre-addressed and are designed to be very simple to use.  After the sterilization cycle has been processed, verify that the Steam Integrator (comes with the spore test inside the pouch) has completed color change to match the black arrow.  This provides immediate verification that sterilization has taken place.   If the Integrator is a shade of gray, sterility has not been reached.  Rerun the spore test and also physically monitor the cycle.

When completed, enclose the test packet in the pre-addressed postage paid envelope and mail it to the ATS laboratory. The test is immediately processed, and the original test report (with your operator’s signature) will be returned upon completion. The storage portfolio we provide conveniently stores the test reports. The autoclave log book provided is to be used with every sterilization cycle. This record book comes with the storage portfolio for your convenience. If your facility was to have an inspection from a health department, OSHA, an accreditation facility, insurance firm, or another healthcare facility, you will have all the verified test reports and sterilizer record book available for inspection.

Please note: having spore tests performed in a timely manner can save hundreds of dollars in fines and will act in your defense should litigation occur.

Meeting the highest standards in the industry with our easy-to-use test kits will ensure your patients and staff that you are taking every precaution for their protection.
