We’ve learnt today that Steris are discontinuing their Hydrogen Peroxide indicator product.
As this is a widely used medical sterilisation indicator, a number of organisations have been in touch to ask if we can supply an equivalent product. That product is the SteriTec Cross Check P, and can be found here:
Please note that Steris and SteriTec are unconnected.
If you have any questions about this product then please email us.
We’ve been contacted by a company looking to incorporate a sterilization ink on a bag used to contain medical instruments. As it turns out, this isn’t as easy as printing a sterilization ink directly onto the surface of the bag. Here’s what one of our colleagues at SteriTec in the USA had to say about this seemingly easy process:
The way to achieve this with some reliability and consistency is to print the ink onto a label and to apply that to the bag or item, either manually or using something like a Zebra roll printer. It’s essential to monitor the process from start to finish – so that’s what happens.
If you’re interested in this kind of application, please feel free to contact us.
Steritec Wash-Checks Pro Protein Test
We’re about to launch a new SteriTec product for the medical sector – a swab protein test that will detect protein quantities as small as 4µg, with practically instantaneous results. No incubation is required, it is a rapid, easy to use indication kit with proven reliability. We’ll have more information very soon….
We’re getting a lot of enquiries for people wanting to monitor refrigerated food items in transit, not only to check they don’t go over particular temperature thresholds but also to make sure they don’t get too cold.
Monitoring refrigerated items can be done using the Chillchecker and the descending temperature can be measured by using the Tempasure product.
These indicators are very accurate, reliable and tried and tested. We are often asked if there are any ways to vary the temperatures available and sadly it can’t be done – the indicators are rather precise things that have been developed over many years to function within very strict parameters and basically, if it doesnt exist, it can’t be done commercially! Nevertheless we try and cover the majority of requirements.
If you want more information or advice on a specific application then please email us, we’re happy to help. We learnt a long time ago that every enquiry is different.

Based in Tunbridge Wells, Kent in the UK, Temperature Indicators only supplies visual indicators that are used to give users the clearest and most reliable indication of temperature change or exposure to sterilant media. A full range of instrument washer validation indicators are also available: the Wash Check range manufactured by SteriTec in the USA, and a full range of SteriTec time and temperature integrators to conform to other ISO standards, including steam, dry heat, pre-vacuum, Formaldehyde and EtO sterilisation processes.
