Indicon Gel

Indicon Gel is a rapid biological hygiene indicator specifically designed to identify the presence of biofilm on surfaces. When the product comes into contact with biofilm, Indicon Gel rapidly produces white micro-bubbles/foam within 2 minutes, providing a visual indicator of potential harborage niches.

• Rapidly detects the presence of invisible biofilm harborage niches
• Provides a cost-effective, quick visual indication of the presence of biofilm on a surface which may contain microorganisms such as Listeria, Escherichia coli (E. coli) or Salmonella
• Perfect for “seek and destroy” missions

Easy and Safe to Use:
• Easy, ready to use spray gel, no mixing needed
• Allows for detection on large surface areas
• Reaches niches a swab cannot
• Micro-bubble reaction is readily visible on a variety
of surfaces
• Not regulated for transport
• Freely rinsable
