Description

• Our easy to use, precut strips are perfect for detection of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) in all kinds of water without the need for other reagents
• Our pocket-sized vial is perfect for portability and to protect the strips from the elements
• Testing with our hydrogen sulfide test kit takes only a few seconds

Our Laboratory Grade Lead Acetate Test Paper detects Hydrogen Sulfide in water in concentrations as low as 3 ppm. Use this test paper to test your drinking water, well water, groundwater, or air.

How to test for hydrogen sulfide (H2S):

1. Dip the test paper into the water for a few seconds, and remove.
2. At approximately 1-3ppm, the white paper will start to turn grey.
3. As the concentration increases, the color of the paper will turn darker up to 400ppm.

You can also moisten the paper with distilled water and place in an area where Hydrogen Sulfide is thought to be present (an acetate buffer is not necessary).
Note: Lead Acetate test paper does not cross-react with thiols, thioketones or mercaptans: these, if present, will produce a negative response.
