Spore Wires - VH2O2


Crosstex manufactures specialized Spore Wires (braided steel) for use in monitoring Plasma/Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide (VH2O2) sterilization processes inoculated with Geobacillus stearothermophilus (Cell Line 7953) spores.

  • Ideal for use in tubing, lumens and other devices/instruments where larger BIs and carriers cannot be utilized
  • Crosstex’ manufacturing process is designed to ensure that the entire length of the wire contains a consistent number of spores
  • Spore Wires have a rigid structure which allows for easy insertion and removal from a device
  • The steel construction in our Spore Wires does not absorb moisture which is ideal when there is condensation within the lumen
  • A reduced incubation time of 24 hours when used with Geobacillus stearothermophilus (GMBCP-100) and 48 hours when used with Bacillus atrophaeus (GMBTB-100) have been validated when used in conjunction with Crosstex Prepared Culture Media
  • Products are accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis and are certified with population, purity, and resistance characteristics (D value, survival and kill where applicable)
  • ISO 11138-1 Compliant
