About Our Pricing
SMS pricing is competitive with other university-based and corporate-based biological monitoring services.
When you compare what we offer to what our competitors offer, you will find our value-added benefits are what set us apart from the others. We offer 24-hour test results, online ordering, fast delivery via UPS, Zoom troubleshooting consultations, bundle & save discounts and free CE credits. Our free CE credits are a unique benefit that no other biological monitoring service offers. Eight hours of CE is available each year to all in your office, at no charge - resulting in a substantial reduction in your annual and biennium CE costs (save $200 per year and $400 per biennium based on CE cost of $25 per credit).

STERIS Verify® Steam Integrating Indicator Strips | Type 5 are used to confirm that all parameters (time, temperature and saturated steam) have been met in each steam sterilizer load. This allows for a confident release of sterilized instruments while awaiting weekly spore test results. Integrator strips are recommended for use in every load run in a steam sterilizer. An order of 1000 strips allows for using 19 strips (19 loads) per week. Integrator strips have a 3-year expiration date and are stored at room temperature. Integrator strips do not replace biological spore testing.
