3. Applications
This test is suited for the selective determina-
tion of the peracetic acid concentration in aque-
ous solutions and for checks for the absence of
peracetic acid after rinsing processes, also in
cases in which hydrogen peroxide is present.
Sample material:
Disinfectant and rinsing solutions (e. g. food
technology, laundries)
Package contents:
Tube containing 100 test strips
Other reagents:
MQuant® Universal indicator strips pH 0 - 14,
Cat. No. 109535
Sodium hydroxide solution 1 mol/l Titripur®,
Cat. No. 109137
Hydrochloric acid 1 mol/l Titripur®,
Cat. No. 109057
6. Preparation
• Samples containing more than 50 mg/l per-
acetic acid must be diluted with distilled
water.
• The pH must be within the range 2 - 10.
Adjust, if necessary, with sodium hydroxide
solution or hydrochloric acid.
7. Procedure
Immerse the reaction zone of the test strip in the
pretreated sample (15 - 25 °C) for 1 sec.
Allow excess liquid to run off via the long edge of
the strip onto an absorbent paper towel and after
5 sec determine with which color field on the
label the color of the reaction zone coincides most
exactly.
Read off the corresponding result in mg/l peracetic
acid.
