FIELD: biology.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to biological sterilization indicators. Biological sterilization indicator (100) contains case (102) having first compartment (136), second compartment (138) and a support, as well as ampoule (142) containing liquid cultural medium and insert (146) located at least partially in first compartment (136), wherein at least part of ampoule (142) is located inside first compartment (136). Insert (146) has: platform (148) including upper surface (150), adjacent surface (152) and a side surface; first empty space (178) located in platform (148) for passing the first volume of liquid cultural medium to second compartment (138); and second empty space (188) passing through at least part of the side surface for passing the second volume of liquid cultural medium to second compartment (138). Upper surface (150) is parallel to adjacent surface (152) that is adjacent to the case support, the second end of the ampoule is in contact with insert (146), and second empty space (188) of insert (146) is an inclined cutout through adjacent surface (152) and the side surface. The group of inventions also relates to a method for using the specified indicator and to an option of the specified indicator.

EFFECT: invention allows for an increase in the accuracy of determination of the sterilization efficiency.
