ATS, Inc. offers 11 programs for testing your sterilizer using biological spore testing.  We offer the widest variety of program choices in the industry.  After serving thousands of clients nationwide since we started in 1986, we realized the need for such a diversity of testing programs.  We will also customize a program to fit your needs (for example:  6-month testing for seasonal businesses, or test results sent to a different address, emailed or faxed, or whatever your unique needs are – ATS will accommodate you!).

NOTE:  If you find a cheaper service, we will honor their price, allowing you to still benefit with using our enhanced sterilizer spore testing programs.  Besides unsurpassed service and over two decades of experience, you can also SAVE MONEY with choosing Autoclave Testing Service, Inc.  

Standard Program: (See Standard Program)

The Standard Program testing is our most comprehensive program and also the most popular.  This program offers a fresh spore test sent to your office each week, month, quarter, etc. as a timely reminder.  This method of sterilizer testing is far superior to the test kits that are sent in bulk which are cheaper, but are often left in some corner “out-of-sight, out-of-mind”.  Testing in a timely manner will avoid fines from your local health department (depending on the type of industry).  Your original, personally signed test report is mailed upon completion.  See complete list of features which include Return Postage and Self-Addressed Forms and Envelopes by clicking onto “Standard Program” above.  To review and compare all program choices side-by-side, see our Services page.

Economy-Plus Testing Program: (See Economy-Plus Program)

The Economy-Plus Programs offer pre-dated tests and self-addressed forms with return postage prepaid.  The test kit box is sent annually.  The pre-dated tests help to keep you on schedule and if you do fall behind in testing, you will receive a phone call from our customer service staff to remind you.  Testing in a timely manner will avoid fines from your local health department (depending on the type of industry).  Your original, personally signed test result is mailed upon completion.  See complete list of features which include Return Postage and Self-Addressed Forms by clicking above “Economy-Plus Program.”   To compare all program choices side-by-side, see our Services page.

Economy Program: (See Economy Program)

In-Office Biological Testing: (See In Office Testing)

The new addition to our line of spore testing is SterileCheck™, a self-contained biological indicator (BI) ampoule for steam sterilization. This cost-effective BI test is comparable to the 3MAttest™ and other similar products.  The SterileCheck™ ampoules are packaged 25 per box and require a small tabletop incubator which can be purchased separately.  Note:  The ampoules will also fit your existing incubator (most brands) if you are already using this type of BI testing.  This type of BI testing is the most cost-effective method to test your sterilizer.  This monitoring system requires your office staff to process the testing and do their own test documenting and record keeping.  ATS, Inc. will assist you in setting up this system.  Note:  Some States mandate third-party sterilizer verification – call us for your States guidelines.
