chemical solution
Explanation:
"testigo" can have many meanings (sample, core, etc.), but here I believe it refers to a sterilizing solution that is used for the instruments.

I have done some more searching, and I think ***chemical agent*** might be better, since this could be sterilization by gas or liquid.
