(1) USP recommends using three specimens of the relevant biological indicator for determining a total viable spore count.
(2) Perform population count on three separate biological indicators and average counts.
(3) Raven has validated that using 10 specimens of the relevant biological indicator gives equivalent results as the USP recommended three specimens.

Technical Reports

Steam Sterilization and BI Monitoring – Liquid Loads Information on liquid cycle sterilization, use of sealed glass ampoules, possible causes for a failed cycle and information on why the ampoule BI should sink in the liquid being sterilized and not float on the surface.
Micro-Lab / Medical Waste Sterilization Made Easier Provides information on why one must use a sealed BI in waste sterilization and the easy way to accomplish such use.
Biological Indicators / D-value Verification Provides information pertaining to the critical parameters necessary to perform a D-value assessment and why it may be so difficult to obtain a 3rd party verification of the D-value on Biological Indicators.
Unique Cycles - Sterilizing Liquid Loads With liquid loads there are no concerns about pre-vac air-removal or steam penetration as into a porous load, so why do so many problems occur with liquid media sterilization and BI lethality?
