Sterilization Assurance Service (SAS)
ADA, CDC and CDA recommend the use of biological indicators to monitor sterilization on a weekly basis. The Sterilization Assurance Service (SAS) provides two biological monitoring programs, Intensive and Basic. These are reasonably priced, convenient ways to monitor your sterilizers using spore tests.

Dental Unit Waterline Testing (DUWT)
The ADA has set a goal to improve microbiologic quality in unfiltered output water from air/water syringes and hand-piece lines to < 200 colony-forming units per milliliter (CFU/mL) by the year 2000. In response to ADA's recommendation, we now provide two dental unit waterline testing programs, in-office testing and delivery-testing, to help dentists identify potential microbiologic problems in dental unit waterlines and provide the necessary documentation of water quality in your office.
