General description

When the reagents of a MQuant® test (formally MColortest®) are used up, the kit can be replenished by ordering the appropriate refill pack. Refill packs are available for a range of test kits, making it a particularly economical and ecological system.
This refill pack contains reagent Cl2-2 for the MQuant® test kits for the colorimetric evaluation of free chlorine. It has to be used together with reagent Cl2-1, 1.11113.

Application


  • 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine as a multi-colorimetric indicator of chlorine in water in line with health guideline values: This study focuses on using 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine as an indicator for the presence of chlorine in water, providing a method to ensure compliance with health guidelines through a visual and straightforward test (Palladino et al., 2020).

  • Analysis of free chlorine in aqueous solution at very low concentration with lateral flow tests: This paper introduces a method for testing free chlorine concentrations in water at very low levels using lateral flow assays, which are crucial for monitoring water quality and ensuring safety standards (Schwenke et al., 2019).

  • Some factors influencing the stability of Sterilox, a super-oxidised water: This article, while focused on the stability of Sterilox as a disinfectant, deals with the broader context of using chlorine solutions in settings requiring stringent sanitation measures, highlighting the importance of regular chlorine testing to ensure efficacy (Rossi-Fedele et al., 2011).

How to Prepare a Standard for Free Chlorine Analysis

AQA Standard for free chlorine - Preparation of a standard solution for free chlorine - Preparation of a stock solution of free chlorine: First prepare a 1:10 dilution using a sodium hypochlorite solution containing approximately 6 - 14 % of active chlorine. For this pipette 10 ml of sodium hypochlorite solution into a calibrated or conformity-checked 100-ml volumetric flask and then make up to the mark with water for analysis.
