Biological Indicator For Heat Sterilisation

Microbiology Study

1 PARAMETERS OF BIOLOGICAL INDICATORS FOR HEAT STERILISATION 1-1 z-Value Sterilisation processes can be operated at temperatures lower than the standard 121 °C (for longer exposure times) or at higher temperatures (for shorter exposure times). The z-value (the temperature difference that leads to a 10-fold change in the D-value of the biological indicator) is used to compare the efficacy …
