    摘要: A biological sterilization indicator (BI) system and method. The system can include a BI and a reading apparatus comprising a well. The BI can include a housing, which can include a first portion, and a second portion movable between a first “unactivated” position and a second “activated” position. The BI can further include a frangible container containing a liquid and dimensioned to be positioned in the housing. The reading apparatus can be configured to detect activation of the biological sterilization indicator, for example, by detecting that the second portion is in the second position, and/or by detecting that the liquid from the frangible container is present in a specific chamber of the biological sterilization indicator. The method can include positioning the BI in the well of the reading apparatus and detecting activation, for example, by detecting one or more of the above conditions.

    摘要: A biological soil detector and a method for detecting bio soil are provided. The biological soil detector has a solid support member; a specific indicator immobilized on the solid support member, the specific indicator having a material sensitive to the presence of blood; and the solid support and specific indicator positioned within or on a retaining member to readily contact a liquid that has been used to contact a surface. In the method for detecting bio soil, the method includes the following steps: contacting the surface with a liquid; after the liquid has contacted the surface, contacting the liquid with the solid support member and the specific indicator of the detector described herein; and inspecting the solid support member for a detectable response to determine whether the specific indicator has interacted with biological soil.
