Quickly verify peracetic acid sanitizer strength for food, beverage, healthcare, and produce washing with Indigo® 0–160 ppm PAA test strips.
Indigo® 0–160 ppm peracetic acid test strips provide fast, reliable verification of sanitizer strength in food and beverage processing, healthcare sanitation, and produce washing. This range aligns with common no-rinse sanitizing guidelines (150–160 ppm), making it ideal for breweries, dairies, and food-contact surfaces. Easy-to-read color changes ensure operators can confirm disinfectant effectiveness in seconds, avoiding both under-dosing (loss of microbial control) and over-dosing (unnecessary chemical exposure).
All Indigo® peracetic acid test strips have a 3 year minimum guaranteed shelf life & come with a Certificate of Analysis, Stability & SDS documents listed below; Certificate of Conformance on request. Be prepared for any health & safety audit or inspection.
The 0–160 ppm test range corresponds to peracetic acid sanitizer concentrations recognized by the U.S. FDA, USDA, and EPA for no-rinse food-contact sanitation. Many guidelines specify 150–160 ppm as the maximum safe and effective level for breweries, dairies, meat processing, and produce handling. These Indigo® strips allow quick compliance checks, supporting both HACCP protocols and third-party audits.

You can compare the chemical structures of peracetic acid (aka peroxyacetic acid), chemical formula C2H4O3, to acetic acid, hydrogen peroxide & most quaternary ammonium compounds using our 3D Molecular Model Builder.
Use our free Sanitizer Dilution Calculator to prepare accurate dilutions to any ppm level for any volume. Some knowledge of the metric system is required.
