Aluminum Test Strips, colorimetric

Aluminium compounds are used as precipitating agents (flocculants) for water treatment plants, swimming baths and in paper manufacturing. MQuant Aluminium test strips can usually be applied directly here to test the effectiveness of the filter in process control. Using these test strips, the aluminium concentration is measured semiquantitatively by visual comparison of the reaction zone on the test strip with the fields of the color scale. All necessary reagents for the test are already included for a fast and easy analysis. The test strips are perfect for pre-testing a sample in an economic and quick way to estimate the aluminium concentration and a possible dilution factor prior to using a quantitative method such as a Reflectoquant and Spectroquant 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
