Apex Biological Indicator (BI) products are designed specifically to meet the unique needs of the pharmaceutical, food, and medical device industries utilizing hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) vapor sterilization.
Our Apex product line offers:
- The most resistant strain to HPV sterilization process to assure the manufacturing area is sterile
- Greatly reduced false positives because products match the decontamination process
- A highly flexible portfolio of BI’s to match the resistance of process parameters
Whether it be stainless steel discs/ribbons or a spore suspension, Apex BI products offer the ideal solution to monitoring hydrogen peroxide sterilization.

NEW PRODUCT! Improved SIP Validation Results
The MeCo line is designed to provide consistency between validation cycles by enabling controlled placement of the biological indicator and the thermocouple together.
- Provide consistency between cycles by enabling controlled, reproducible placement of the biological indicator (BI) and thermocouple (TC) together.
- Increase robustness by providing ability to easily reach most difficult to sterilize location per EP 9.2, ISO 17665-1 Annex D, ISO 11138-7.
- Reduce contamination with secure placement which eliminates loss or shredding of the BI and reduces stress on the TC.
