Integron Chemical Integrator Steam Type 5 – Moving Front
Moving front Chemical Integrator to monitor Steam sterilization processes between 118°C and 138°C.
Chemical Integrator consists of a paper wick and a steam temperature-sensitive chemical pellet contained in a paper/film/foil laminate.
The chemical pellet melts and migrates as a dark bar along the paper wick. The migration is visible through a zone marked ACCEPT or REJECT, thus indicating whether sterilization conditions were met. The extent of migration depends on steam quality, time, and temperature.
