A self-contained biological indicator ("SCBI") is disclosed. The SCBI may include a first ampule and a second ampule. The first ampule may contain a first volume of a first growth medium, and the second ampule may contain a second volume of a second growth medium. The SCBI is configured such that the first ampule may be broken before the second ampule. The SCBI may be analyzed for changes in fluorescence of the first growth medium. Then, the SCBI may be analyzed for changes in a color of the second growth medium.
