After each validation cycle, the spore trap, with its securely retained test strip can easily be removed and rechallenged.

Combined with the Smart Gasket® Thermocouple Gasket, an accurate integration of sterilization and spore strip is practical. 1, 2, 3 and 4 internal ports are available when utilizing the spore strip Smart Gasket®. All this is accomplished without adding special fittings or weldments and is easily installed into your sanitary systems.
