Abstract:
The disclosed invention relates to a method for monitoring a sterilization process. The method includes (A) exposing an article to be sterilized and a biological indicator to a sterilization medium during a sterilization process, the biological indicator comprising a cell with a plasma membrane; and (B) incubating the cell and measuring the membrane potential of the cell to detect change in the membrane potential.
