Rigorous compliance, without the cost of an on-site engineer. KEY BENEFITS Biological indicators using hyperactive spores — the most rigorous steriliser performance test available Fully remote process — no technician visit required, dramatically reducing compliance costs X-Labs performs in-house analysis and issues a signed 12-month validation certificate on pass Certificate satisfies AS/NZS 4815:2006 annual validation requirements Simple 3-step process: run test, return vial, receive certificate ✓ COMPLIANCE: ISO 11138-1 · AS 5369 How To Use Biological indicator testing uses actual living organisms — bacterial spores — as the ultimate benchmark for sterilisation efficacy. X-Spores uses hyperactive spore strains: organisms specifically selected because they are exceptionally resistant to destruction. If your steriliser can destroy X-Spores, it can sterilise everything. After you run the test cycle and return the vials to X-Labs, our qualified team performs analysis under controlled laboratory conditions. A pass result triggers issuance of a formal validation certificate, signed and dated, documenting your steriliser's performance for 12 months. The certificate is accepted for AS/NZS 4815:2006 annual validation compliance.
