Mesa’s Apex® line of BIs reduce false positives of VHP decontamination processes because it uses a monolayer of spores on the BI.
The Apex® line can be used with any general purpose media, and when used with Mesa's purple Releasat® media positive results are easier and clearer to detect visually through color change.
The Apex® line has numerous configurations including different species, strains, populations, and presentations including Tyvek packaging and bare BIs.
