Industry Relevance

Essential for food safety in irradiation processes
Critical for medical device sterilisation verification
Supports pharmaceutical quality control measures

Sessions UK’s gamma radiation indicators provide a comprehensive solution for industries requiring reliable sterilisation verification. The versatility in product offerings, from standalone dots to customisable labels, coupled with supporting printing and application equipment, makes this system adaptable to various industrial needs. The clear visual indicator of sterilisation status enhances safety protocols and quality assurance in critical sectors like food processing, medical device manufacturing, and pharmaceutical production.

These indicator labels will undergo a colour change from yellow to red when exposed to gamma radiation. There is a noticeable colour change at 10 kGy with the colour becoming darker with increased dose levels. This provides a visual indicator that the product has been sterilised and clearly distinguishes a sterile product from one that is not. Applications of this immediate “yes/no” indicator of gamma exposure include food irradiation and the sterilisation of medical and surgical products.

Sessions UK also supplies thermal transfer printers to overprint the remaining label surface on a gamma stripe label or the plain or printed label with a gamma dot label applied. We can also supply a range of semi and fully automatic machines to apply the indicators to both products and packaging.
