Description
Hot-air indicator tape is a specialised process-monitoring tape for dry-heat sterilisation, supplied as one roll of 55 m length and 19 mm width. The integrated chemical indicator changes from light green to brown when exposed to hot-air sterilisation conditions. It reacts simultaneously to temperature and time, completing the colour change at 160 °C after one hour or at 180 °C after 30 minutes. Intended for insensitive instruments and auxiliary equipment, this tape from manufacturer MBT-Brand provides clear visual confirmation that the required sterilisation parameters have been reached. The 19 mm width permits convenient application to packs, containers or instruments, while the 55 m roll length supports extended use in busy laboratory or clinical settings. By delivering an irreversible colour shift, the tape assists reliable documentation of dry-heat cycles without additional instrumentation. It integrates readily into existing sterilisation workflows and helps maintain consistent process control for non-sensitive devices and tools used in medical and research environments.
This article is part of Autoclaves & sterilisers, in Heating, drying & cooling.

Questions about Hot air indicator tape, 1 reel 55 m x 19 mm
What is this article?
Hot air indicator tape, 1 reel 55 m x 19 mm is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes MBT-Brand for laboratory use. It sits in Autoclaves & sterilisers, inside Heating, drying & cooling, in Lab instruments.
An autoclave sterilises with steam under pressure, typically 121 °C. A load that is wrapped wrong, or a liquid in a sealed full bottle, does not see that temperature, or it bursts. Chamber volume and the cycles it can run are the specification.
Temperature equipment either holds a set point or drives a sample toward one. An oven dries. A furnace reaches the temperatures of ashing and melting. A bath surrounds a vessel with water or oil. A circulator moves that fluid. An incubator holds the mild warmth of a culture. An autoclave uses steam under pressure to sterilise. The number that matters is the temperature the article actually reaches, not the number painted on the dial. Temperature is part of the international system kept by the BIPM and compared by EURAMET.
