ATS
Inc. is one of the first companies to provide sterilization
monitoring!
Autoclave Testing Service, Inc. has become a widely recognized
industry leader in sterility assurance products. Our laboratory
provides comprehensive testing using biological indicators that
challenge your sterilization system, assuring you that it is
sterilizing. We provide the most professional, cost effective
sterilizer
monitoring service available in the industry. We
strive to have our clients
compliant with their state regulations
and reduce their risk of liability with detailed sterilizer test
reports. We offer competitive pricing and will customize a program
to fit your needs. Our test kit is unique to the industry as it
provides an immediate verification of sterilization, while the
biological spore test is mailed to our laboratory for processing.
In the event of a test failure, you will be immediately notified,
and a free re-test will be issued.
Biological spore testing is the only accepted method of verifying
sterilization has taken place, through the death of the dual
spores. The
spore strip test is placed in the
autoclave/sterilizerduring a normal sterilization cycle. The spore strips
are then returned to our laboratory for culturing. The documented
result of the spore test is a valid
proof of sterilization.
