Testing body, particularly for verifying the penetration properties of a sterilizing agent in sterilization processes

摘要

Apparatus for monitoring the penetration characteristics of a sterilizing agent comprises a detector chamber (24) containing an indicator (26) which is connected by a gas collection system (4) to a sterilization chamber. The collection chamber is made up of several stepped sections (12, 14, 16) whose volume decreases in the direction of the detector chamber.
