Frequently Asked Questions
What are radiation indicator labels?
Radiation indicator labels are specialized labels that undergo an irreversible chemical color change when exposed to ionizing radiation (gamma, E-beam, or X-ray). They provide visual confirmation that a product has been through a sterilization process without the need for instruments. The color change is permanent and cannot be reversed, ensuring tamper-evident proof of sterilization.
What is the difference between Gamma and E-Beam indicator labels?
Gamma indicator labels are designed for Cobalt-60 gamma radiation sterilization, while E-Beam labels are for electron beam sterilization. Both provide irreversible color change, but they are calibrated for different radiation types and dose ranges. Gamma radiation penetrates deeper and is used for larger packages, while E-beam is faster and used for surface sterilization. Aison Label offers indicators for Gamma (Co-60), E-Beam, and X-ray applications.
Which industries use radiation indicator labels?
Radiation indicator labels are used in medical device manufacturing, food irradiation processing, pharmaceutical sterilization, industrial radiation processing, blood and tissue product irradiation, cosmetics sterilization, polymer modification, and laboratory research. They are trusted by quality teams across 8 major industries worldwide.
Are Aison Label products ISO certified?
Yes, Aison Label products meet international quality standards including ISO 11140-1 for chemical indicators used in radiation sterilization. We also hold CE marking and FDA compliance. Our quality certifications are available on our Certifications page, and we provide complete documentation with every order.
Can I get custom radiation indicator labels?
Yes, we offer fully customized radiation indicator labels. We can customize the size, shape, color change pattern, adhesive type, dose threshold, and printing (including your company logo and product information). Our technical team will work with you to develop a custom solution that meets your specific requirements.
What is the minimum order quantity?
Minimum order quantities vary depending on the product type and customization level. Standard products have lower MOQs, while fully custom designs may require higher minimum quantities. Contact us with your specific requirements for a detailed quote.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we export to over 30 countries across North America, Europe, Middle East, Southeast Asia, South America, and Australia. We are familiar with international shipping regulations for label products and provide all necessary export documentation.
How do I choose the right indicator for my application?
The right indicator depends on your radiation type (gamma, E-beam, or X-ray), target dose level, application environment, and regulatory requirements. Our technical team provides free consultation to help you select the optimal indicator product. Contact us with your process parameters and we will recommend the best solution.
What is the shelf life of radiation indicator labels?
Our radiation indicator labels have a shelf life of typically 2-3 years when stored properly (away from direct sunlight, heat, and radiation sources). Specific shelf life information is provided on the product technical data sheet and certificate of analysis.
How do radiation indicator labels differ from biological indicators?
Radiation indicator labels provide immediate visual confirmation of radiation exposure through chemical color change, while biological indicators (BIs) use bacterial spores to verify sterilization effectiveness and require incubation. Both are important for sterilization assurance - indicators provide process verification, while BIs provide biological validation. Aison Label specializes in chemical indicator labels.
