Description

  • Packed in moisture wicking bottle to protect the strips from humidity
  • Calibrated at 0, 100, 200, and 400 ppm, and gives results in just seconds
  • Ideal for low range peroxide tests for solutions that are over 100 ppm

Low Level Peroxide Test Strip up to 400 ppm. This test strip can be used to test pools and hot tubs where peroxides, rather than chlorine, are used to sanitize and in concentrations 100 PPM or greater. Recommended peroxide levels vary, therefore, the test strip can be used to test the concentrations users prefer.

This strip can also test peroxide utilized to to sterilize hydroponic greenhouse reservoirs. It is important to regularly clean greenhouse reservoirs and using water with peroxide is a popular means of achieving this. Proactive cleaning of greenhouse reservoirs reduces algae, the amount of microbes in the water, and ultimately can lead to higher yields from healthier plants. This test can also be utilized for eliminating competitor spores & bacteria by mushroom cultivars to support mycelial growth.

Instructions:

  1. Remove one test strip from the vial. Do not touch the test pad with your fingers.
  2. Dip the test strip into the solution being tested for 1 second.
  3. Remove and shake off any excess liquid. Compare the test pad to the color chart after 30 seconds.

NOTE: If this test strip is used in very high concentrations of Peroxide (above 2000ppm or 0.2%), the test strip will not turn purple. Instead, it will turn an off-white with a hint of green.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How do peroxide test strips work?

The test pad is treated with a formula consisting of buffers, surfactants, a red-ox indicator, and an enzyme. The enzyme makes the strip very sensitive to peroxide. The presence of peroxide causes the red-ox to develop color. The intensity of the color developed is proportional to the amount of peroxide present.

Does this strip work with Accelerated Hydrogen Peroxide?

The peroxide test strips were developed to work with solutions prepared from concentrated solutions of hydrogen peroxide. Some formulations of hydrogen peroxide contain surfactants to create an “accelerated” peroxide solution. These “accelerated” solutions may work with the test strips but almost always require a custom color chart to be developed.

Do these test strips detect organic peroxides?

Yes, our low level peroxide strips can measure organic peroxides. Two specific examples are Peracetic Acid (PAA) and Peroxyoctanoic Acid (POOA), both of which give positive responses using these strips.

That being said, while the color scheme appears similar, the color chart supplied with this strip has not been calibrated to PAA, POOA, or any other organic peroxide. It is calibrated to hydrogen peroxide. Also keep in mind that organic peroxides (like PAA) are often a mixture that includes hydrogen peroxide.

Can I test 35% food grade peroxide with this strip?

This product is designed to test lower levels of peroxide, so, although it could be used to test food grade hydrogen peroxide, it would require a very precise dilution ratio that would be hard to achieve accurately. For testing food grade peroxide, we recommend using our “very high level” strip.
