Sterilisation Indicators
Changing appearances in color or pattern, the sterilization indicators visually show if cleaning conditions are passing or procedures have been completed. Eliminating any confusion or possibility instruments will not be sterile, indicators are used routinely in clinical and research environments where contamination elimination is crucial. With the temperature resistance required to endure the purification, the sterilization indicators are available in different forms such as tapes, ampoules, and sticks.

Cleanroom autoclave indicator tape
Supplier: MICRONOVA
Saturated crepe paper/synthetic poly isoprene adhesive in plastic core. It is a proven method of positively confirming a completed sterilisation cycle in both gravity discharge and vacuum autoclaves. Green indicator lines change to black when proper levels of steam pressure and temperature have been achieved. After use, the tape removes quickly and completely, leaving minimal residue or staining.

Gamma radiation sterilisation indicator labels
Supplier: CROSSTEX
Self-adhesive, non-toxic, chemical process indicators that change from yellow to red upon exposure to gamma or electron beam radiation. Labels are coated with a UV blocking agent for protection from exposure to UV light. A minimum of 15 kGy irradiation is recommended for sufficient end-point colour development. At greater dosage levels, the radiation indicators exhibit a darker shade of red.
