The accuracy of QAC tests strips does not depend on the pH value of solutions to be tested in the range of 1.86 – 9.2 pH, but rather it depends on buffering capacity. When the [...]
Higher temps: Testing was run on set of control solutions 0 – 50 – 100 – 200 – 400 ppm Hyamine 1622 (Fluka) warmed up to temperatures in the range 35 – 60oC. T (oC) QAC strips [...]
Development time for test strips is dependent upon many factors. The kinetics of the color development are manipulated by altering the formula employed on the test pad, along with adjusting the conditions of the test [...]
The Hydrion QAC test strips are reddish-orange in color before use. Our QAC test strips are yellow in color before use. Instructions for the Hydrion QAC test strips tell you to dip the strip into [...]
Sodium chloride salt is not an oxidizer and will not react with any of our chlorine strips. However, if you are using salt in pools as a source of chlorine, and your question is, "Can [...]
Chlorine dioxide is less reactive than chlorine or ozone, which means lower concentrations of chlorine dioxide can be used to achieve effective disinfection. It can also be used when large amounts of organic matter are [...]
Chlorine bleach at concentrations of at least 1000ppm is an effective germicide for dangerous pathogens such as MRSA (Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus), VRE (Vancomycin Resistent Enterococci) and Clostridium difficile. The High Level Chlorine ( 0-1,000ppm) [...]
According to the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), the following are standard definitions of clean, sanitize, and disinfect: Clean – The process that physically removes debris from the surface or area by scrubbing, washing, and rinsing. [...]
To determine the recommended bleach concentration for your application, locate the EPA registration number on your product label. Visit the EPA's website, and enter the EPA Registration Number, then click Search. You should see the details about the [...]
Each printing of color charts is preceded by an extensive review of the test strip performance. Chlorine standards are generated at 10, 50, 100, and 200ppm. These values are confirmed by at least one independent [...]
