Product Overview
Tuttnauer MiniBio Incubator
Fast biological indicator incubation for confident sterilization monitoring.
The Tuttnauer MiniBio Incubator is a compact biological indicator (BI) auto-reader designed to simplify in-office spore testing for steam sterilizers. It automatically incubates and reads rapid biological indicators, providing fast, reliable results that help dental practices verify sterilization effectiveness without waiting days for mail-in testing.
The MiniBio can simultaneously incubate up to three biological indicators, even when they require different incubation times. It supports 20-minute and 1-hour rapid biological indicators while automatically detecting the indicator, recording the results, and printing a permanent record using its built-in thermal printer. USB connectivity and free traceability software make it easy to maintain sterilization records for compliance and documentation.
For practices that value immediate feedback, in-office biological monitoring allows problems to be identified much sooner than traditional mail-in testing, helping minimize the risk of processing instruments with an improperly functioning sterilizer.
When you purchase through North Star Dental Services, we'll help you select compatible biological indicators, answer questions about in-office spore testing, and continue supporting your sterilization monitoring program.

Technician's Note
One of the biggest advantages of in-office biological monitoring is speed. If a sterilizer has a problem, you'll know much sooner than with mail-in testing, allowing you to address the issue before it affects more instruments. That's one reason North Star has long recommended in-office spore testing for many practices.
