The B1450-ISS is a small-format adhesive UV-C dosimetry sticker pack — 0.5"×0.5" stickers that attach directly to individual items being decontaminated in the UV Clave (B1450) chamber. Sold at $107, the stickers provide per-item dose verification — confirming UV-C exposure reached the specific surface where the sticker is placed. The small format (0.5"×0.5") supports per-item attachment without occupying significant surface area on the decontaminated item.

Why Per-Item Stickers vs Chamber-Coverage Card
UV-C decontamination is surface-only and shadowing-sensitive — items in shadowed positions receive less UV-C dose than items in direct line-of-sight. Per-item validation answers a different question than chamber-coverage validation:
| Verification approach | Question answered | SKU |
| Per-item stickers | "Did THIS specific item receive the rated UV-C dose?" | B1450-ISS (this product) |
| Chamber-coverage card | "Does the chamber's loading pattern produce uniform UV-C dose distribution?" | B1450-IC |
Pick the stickers (B1450-ISS) when:
- Workflow includes per-item decontamination verification
- Mixed-item loads where shadowing patterns vary across items
- High-value items where individual dose-verification documentation is needed
- Quality-management workflows requiring per-item verification records
- Method-development cycles comparing dose delivery across item geometries
Pick the indicator card (B1450-IC) when chamber-coverage dose mapping is the verification workflow — building a position-by-position dose-distribution map of the chamber.
UV-C Dosimetry Format Comparison
| SKU | Format | Best for | List price |
| B1450-IC | Double-sided card | Chamber-coverage validation | $120 |
| B1450-ISS (this product) | 0.5"×0.5" adhesive stickers | Per-item dose verification | $107 |
Application Profile
Per-item decontamination verification — high-value items, mixed-load workflows, items with shadowing-sensitive geometry.
Quality-management documentation — per-item verification records as part of facility decontamination quality system.
UV-C protocol validation — protocol-development comparing dose delivery across different item shapes / orientations.
Multi-investigator shared chamber — per-item verification supports investigator-specific decontamination documentation.
Educational microbiology laboratory teaching — visual demonstration of shadowing effects on UV-C dose delivery — educational value of comparing sticker color-change across different item positions.
Method-development workflows — protocol-development for irregular-geometry items where uniform dose delivery is non-obvious.
Ordering & Configuration
Pair with UV Clave chassis. Confirm UV Clave (B1450) inventory at order.
Confirm pack quantity — sticker products typically ship in 100+ sticker packs. Confirm specific pack quantity at order to support facility cycle volume.
Plan for ongoing dosimetry inventory. If facility protocol calls for per-item verification, plan for ongoing replacement-sticker procurement.
Confirm adhesive-residue characteristics — sticker adhesive chemistry should not leave residue on decontaminated items, especially for items destined for downstream sample-prep workflows.
Confirm at quote: chassis pairing, intended per-item verification protocol, pack-quantity sizing, and lead time.
Warranty: Per Benchmark Scientific standard accessory / consumable terms — confirm at quote.
