Verify peracetic acid strength in industrial CIP systems and tanks with Indigo® high-range peracetic acid 0–3000 ppm test strips for safe, effective sterilant performance.
In industrial food, beverage, and chemical processing, large tanks and Clean-In-Place (CIP) systems rely on high-concentration peracetic acid (PAA) for sterilization. Indigo® 0–3000 ppm peracetic acid test strips provide a fast, reliable way to confirm that PAA solutions are present at effective sterilant strength before tanks are returned to production. This verification step reduces microbial contamination risk, ensures cleaning consistency, and supports compliance with plant sanitation protocols.
Common applications include dairy CIP system disinfection, brewery tank sterilization, pharmaceutical mixing vessel decontamination, and large-scale beverage processing line cleaning. By confirming PAA concentrations in the 1500–3000 ppm range, operators avoid under-dosing that compromises sterilization and over-dosing that wastes chemicals or damages equipment. These test strips are especially valuable for facilities following HACCP sanitation plans and ISO 22000 food safety management systems.
