Product Description 3M 1292 - INDICATOR STEAM ATTEST RAPID READOUT 50/BX 4BX/CA3M Attest Rapid Readout Biological Indicator 1292 for Steam SterilizationThe 3M Attest 1292 Rapid Readout Biological Indicator (brown cap) is a dual readout biological indicator system specifically designed for rapid and reliable monitoring of steam sterilization processes when used in conjunction with the 3M Attest 290 Auto-reader or the 3M Attest Auto-reader 390.The Attest 1292 Rapid Readout Biological Indicator detects the presence of Geobacillus stearothermophilus by detecting the activity of alpha-glucosidase, an enzyme present within the organism. The presence of the enzyme is detected by reading fluorescence produced by the enzymatic breakdown of a non-fluorescent substrate. This creates a fluorescence change, which is detected by the auto-reader. A fluorescence change indicates a steam sterilization process failure. Provides r
