📖 How to Use (General Instructions)
- Preparation: Remove one indicator strip from the sealed container. Reseal the container immediately to protect unused strips from moisture and contaminants.
- Immersion/Exposure:
- For Liquid Testing: Dip the reactive pad(s) of the strip completely into the solution for the specified time (typically 1-2 seconds).
- For Sterilization Monitoring: Place the strip within the sterilization package or chamber according to protocol.
- Wait: Remove the strip from the liquid (if applicable) and shake off excess fluid. Wait for the recommended reaction time (usually a few seconds to 1 minute, specified on the packaging).
- Read Results: Compare the color change on the reactive pad(s) with the provided color chart on the bottle label or accompanying leaflet.
- Record & Dispose: Note the results if necessary and dispose of the used strip properly.
Note: Always refer to the specific instructions provided with your particular type of indicator strip for precise usage, reaction times, and interpretation.
