  • The Chlorine Test Paper measures total available chlorine from 0-200ppm, and give results in just seconds. Total available chlorine is the sum of free available chlorine and the combined available chlorine. Our chlorine test paper is most often used to test the strength of solutions used to sanitize surfaces, for example, in the restaurant industry. In these types of applications, bleach is usually used to generate the available chlorine.
  • The Mid-Level Chlorine test strip provides an easy way to accurately measure Free Chlorine in increments of 0, 25, 50, 100,and 200ppm. This test strip produces a distinct color change over the entire range from blue to brown to orange. This is a great alternative to our Chlorine Test Paper as it is a more accurate measurement of free chlorine. Our Chlorine test paper is only a semi-quantitative measurement, meaning it changes darker shades of one color (purple).
  • The Chlorine 0-300ppm test strip provides an easy way to accurately measure Free Chlorine in increments of 0, 25, 50, 100, 200, and 300ppm. This test strip produces a distinct color change over the entire range from blue to brown to orange. This is a great alternative to our Chlorine Test Paper as it is a more accurate measurement of free chlorine. Our Chlorine test paper is only a semi-quantitative measurement, meaning it changes darker shades of one color (purple). This is almost identical to our Mid-Level Chlorine 0-200ppm test strip with one extra increment.
  • The Chlor-Assure Chlorine test strip measures Free Chlorine in increments of 0, 25, 50, 100,150, and 200ppm. This test strip can be used in conjunction with our Chlorine Test Paper as a confirmation. The Chlorine test paper is good for qualitative results, while the Chlor-assure test strip is better at quantitative results. The inexpensive paper strips are often used to monitor whether or not the solution is in the ballpark. Chlor-Assure and/or Mid-Level Chlorine test strips are more often used when you need to record results. For another free chlorine test alternative, check out our Mid-Level Chlorine Test Strips.
  • The Peroxide test strip is calibrated at 0, 100, 200, and 400ppm, and gives results in just seconds. This test strip can be used to test pools and hot tubs where peroxides, rather than chlorine, are used to sanitize. Recommended peroxide levels vary, therefore, the test strip can be used to test the concentrations users prefer.
  • This test strip is calibrated at 0, 100, 250, and 500ppm, and gives results in just seconds. Peracetic acid is another sanitizing agent primarily used in some segments of the food industry, such as organic produce and poultry. The recommended strength of peracetic acid is typically 150-200ppm, however, this can vary by location. Check with your local health inspector to determine what ppm level you should be reaching.
  • This test strip is calibrated at 0, 500, 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500 and 3000ppm, and gives results in just seconds. Peracetic acid is another sanitizing agent, and the Peracetic Acid 0-3000ppm test strip is primarily used for applications demanding a high level of disinfection. Peracetic acid ultimately degrades to water, oxygen, and carbon dioxide, making it more environmentally-friendly than chlorine. Note: Peroxide concentration levels in diluted samples up to 5% will not interfere with the test.
  • QAC QR5 Test Paper is used to detect the strength of quaternary ammonium compounds in sanitizers in just seconds. QAC Compounds exhibit microbicidal activity to most microbes at 200ppm concentration.
  • QAC Test Paper is used to detect the strength of quaternary ammonium compounds in sanitizers. QAC Compounds exhibit microbicidal activity to most microbes at 200ppm concentration.
  • The Quick Response QAC Test strip (Quaternary Ammonium Compounds) is calibrated at 0, 100, 200, and 400ppm, and give a response in just one second.  This test strip can determine levels of up to 0-400ppm for many single, dual and 4-chain quat disinfectants to confirm their cleaning power is at full strength.
  • The Iodine test paper detects available Iodine in solutions in increments of 0, 12.5, 25, & 50 ppm. Disinfection with Iodine occurs between 12.5 ppm and 25ppm. This is an older method for sanitizing utensils and dishware used in the restaurant trade.
  • The Potato test paper is designed to detect sugar levels in potatoes. The amount of free glucose is proportional to the darkness of the potato, thus the strip can be used to determine color prior to deep frying. Potato test paper can also be used to demonstrate osmosis across a membrane, similar to the way the small intestine works, by showing that glucose, but not starch, crosses the barrier. The color chart indicates concentration levels in mg/dL but this can be converted to mmol/L by multiplying by 0.055. eg. 100mg/dL is equal to 5.5mmol/L. Potato test paper is not intended for medical diagnosis. Should you decide to test your urine and you get any positive result you should report it to your physician and test your blood sugar levels.
