Role and Importance of Biological Indicators in Autoclave Validation

Autoclave validation is a critical process in pharmaceutical manufacturing to ensure effective sterilization. Among the various tools used, Biological Indicators (BIs) stand out as the gold standard for confirming sterilization efficacy. Why Biological Indicators Matter Biological indicators contain highly resistant microbial spores (e.g., Geobacillus stearothermophilus) that serve as a benchmark to validate whether the autoclave…
