Autoclave Tape 55m
Product Code : EL-A-10333
The Autoclave Tape 55m is a steam sterilisation process indicator tape used to label wrapped packs, containers, and compatible laboratory items before autoclaving. It is suitable for schools, colleges, biology labs, microbiology teaching labs, preparation rooms, distributors, and institutional procurement teams.
Product Description
Autoclave Tape 55m from School Equipments India is listed with. The confirmed roll size is 55 metres x 18mm. The product listing states that the tape works by stripes appearing after exposure to temperatures commonly used in sterilisation processes, typically 121°C in a steam autoclave.
This tape supports sterilisation workflow control by helping users visually identify packs or items that have been exposed to an autoclave process. It should be used as a process indicator, not as proof of sterilisation. Full sterilisation assurance depends on validated time, temperature, pressure, steam contact, load arrangement, and the required chemical or biological monitoring procedure.
Key Features
- 55m roll length: suitable for repeated laboratory packing, labelling, and autoclave workflow use.
- 18mm tape width: provides practical surface coverage for securing and identifying compatible packs.
- Steam-process indication: stripes appear after exposure to typical autoclave sterilisation temperatures.
- 121°C reference point: listed for stripe response in a steam autoclave environment.
- Laboratory organisation aid: helps separate processed packs from unprocessed packs.
- Teaching-lab utility: suitable for supervised biology, microbiology, and preparation-room activities.
- Specifications to confirm: backing material, adhesive type, colour-change specification, pack quantity, and certifications must be verified.

How to Use the Autoclave Tape 55m
- Confirm that the tape is suitable for the autoclave cycle and packaging material used.
- Cut a short strip from the 55m roll.
- Apply the tape to the outside of the wrapped pack, bottle, tray, or compatible container.
- Write date, load number, operator initials, or class details on the tape if required.
- Run the autoclave cycle according to the approved laboratory procedure.
- Check for stripe appearance after the cycle and cooling period.
- Do not treat stripe change alone as proof of sterilisation.
- Use required chemical, biological, and mechanical monitoring records where applicable.
Safety note: Use only under teacher or laboratory-supervisor control. Do not use autoclave tape as the only evidence of sterilisation, and do not apply it to wet, dirty, incompatible, overheated, or chemically contaminated surfaces unless the procedure confirms suitability.
Care & Maintenance
- Store unused tape in a clean, dry location away from heat, steam, and direct sunlight.
- Keep the roll sealed or covered to protect the adhesive and indicator markings.
- Do not use tape that is wet, faded, contaminated, brittle, or past its usable condition.
- Confirm storage life and expiry details from the supplied packaging before use.
