STERILIZATION INDICATORS CHEMICAL INDICATOR STRIPES

Chemical indicator strips are essential tools for monitoring sterilization process. They provide a quick visual confirmation of successful sterilization within an autoclave or sterilizer. Chemical indicator strips are used to validate that an autoclave or steam sterilizer is working properly.

Chemical indicator strips contain chemicals that react to sterilization factors like temperature, time, and sterilant presence (e.g., ethylene oxide). When the conditions are correct, the chemicals trigger a colour change, indicating successful sterilization.
