## Match Your Decontamination Process

The Apex® [biological indicator (BI) line](https://mesalabs.com/sterilization-cleaning-monitoring) greatly reduces false positives by matching your decontamination process.

- Mesa’s Apex® line of BIs reduce false positives of Vaporized Hydrogen Peroxide (VHP) decontamination processes because they use a monolayer of spores on the BI.
- Apex® BIs have consistent well-verified resistance levels.
- The Apex® line can be used with any general purpose, and when used with Mesa's Releasat® purple media positive results are visually detected more clearly and easily.
