A rapid method of determining the efficacy of a sterilization cycle, and an indicator adapted to perform such method, comprising subjecting to the sterilization cycle a source of active enzyme having activity which correlates with the viability of a microorganism commonly used to monitor sterilization, and incubating the enzyme source, following the completion of the sterilization cycle, with an effective amount of a substrate system capable of reacting with any residual active enzyme to produce a detectable enzyme-modified product.
一种快速确定灭菌周期功效的方法,以及一种适用于执行该方法的指示剂,包括将活性酶源置于灭菌周期中,该酶源的活性与通常用于监测灭菌的微生物的活力相关;在灭菌周期完成后,将酶源与有效量的底物系统孵育,该底物系统能够与任何残留的活性酶发生反应,产生可检测的酶修饰产物。
