Yes because the indicator will show us and prove to us if there is a contaminant in a fluid that is supposed to be sterile if it changes to a color on the pH scale that the fluid isn't supposed to be.

Answer: Yes,

Step-by-step explanation: If the contaminant is present in the fluid then it will definitely convert the fluid from acid to base or from base to acid. Any slight change in the fluid can be sensed by the pH indicator.

This change will be observed by the pH sensitive color indicator and we will come to know whether the fluid is sterile or not.
