Use description

Bionova® MiniBio incubator has been designed to in-
cubate BT110 Rapid Readout Self-Contained Biological
Indicators (BIs) for Ethylene Oxide sterilization proces-
ses control, BT220 and BT221 for Steam sterilization
processes control, BT102 for Formaldehyde steriliza-
tion processes control, BT95 for Plasma or Vaporized
Hydrogen Peroxide sterilization processes control and
Super Rapid Readout Self-Contained Biological Indica-
tors BT222 and BT223 for Steam sterilization processes
control.
Microorganisms contained within the Biological Indi-
cators vary depending on the sterilization process for
which they have been designed, therefore, incubation
temperatures differ depending on the indicator. Indica-
tors for Ethylene Oxide (EO) sterilization control, should
be incubated at 37 ºC, while those involved in the mo-
nitoring of the rest of the sterilization processes should
be incubated at 60 ºC.
Simultaneous incubation of BIs for EO processes
control along with BIs monitoring the other pro-
cesses, is not possible.
Bionova® MiniBio incubator allows easy and rapid de-

tection of positive and negative Biological Indicators.
Five incubation programs are available: 4 hours at 37
ºC, 3 hours at 60 ºC, 2 hours at 60 ºC, 1 hour at 60 ºC and
30 minutes at 60 ºC. A positive result can also be evi-
denced through color change of the culture medium,
which turns to yellow after 48 hours or 7 days of incu-
bation at 60 ºC for BT220/BT221/BT222/BT223/BT102/
BT95 and after a 7-day incubation at 37 ºC for BT110
BIs. Incubation times depend on internal protocols of
the laboratory or hospital. Incubator allows incuba-
tion time programs selection independently for each
one of three positions. Bionova® MiniBio incubator not
only allows results detection but also provides a prin-
ted ticket to record them. In addition, the auto-reader
can be connected to computers by USB. This allows to
link the results with the Bionova® Automatic Readout
and Traceability System for Sterilization Biological In-
dicators program. To download the latest software
