General description

Method: Colorimetric with test strips, 20 - 40 - 80 - 120 - 160 mg/L Peracetic acid, MQuant®

Peracetic acid is a frequently used disinfectant. The MQuant® Peracetic acid test strips are applicable – even in the presence of hydrogen peroxide – to test for the absence of peracetic acid residues after rinsing cycles. Peracetic acid reacts with an aromatic amine to form a blue dye. The concentration of peracetic acid is measured semiquantitatively by visual comparison of the reaction zone of the test strip with the fields of a color scale. The test strips are perfect for pre-testing a sample in an economic and quick way to estimate the peracetic acid concentration and a possible dilution factor prior to using a quantitative method such as a Reflectoquant® test.

Design for sustainability benefits:

We continue to demonstrate our commitment to our planet and a sustainable future by exploring ways to improve existing products in our portfolio. We have recently reviewed the current line of MQuant® test strips to identify key opportunities to minimize impact without compromising on the product performance.

This product has benefited from:

  • Test strip with reduction
  • Recycled aluminum tube
  • Digital instruction leaflet
