Indicator tape is a specialized type of tape that changes color in response to specific conditions, such as temperature or pH levels. It is often used in laboratories and industrial settings to provide a visual indication of whether certain parameters have been met. This makes it a valuable tool for monitoring processes and ensuring safety. Typically made from a flexible material, indicator tape can be applied to various surfaces and is easy to use. Common applications include monitoring sterilization processes in medical settings and checking the effectiveness of cleaning procedures. The color change serves as a quick reference for users to assess conditions at a glance.
