EM Quant Test Strips incorporate proven classical organic and inorganic reaction mechanisms. Each plastic strip has a reaction pad (or series of pads) containing the necessary detection reagents, buffers, masking agents, and stabilizers. These strips have been extensively evaluated under a multitude of influences from other salts and ions, and have performed as expected every time.
For most of the test strips and applications, pretreatment is unnecessary when other ionic species are less than 1000ppm. Appropriate dilution procedures can be used to test solutions with concentrations above the upper range of the test strip. The product insert sheet provides easy-to-follow instructions for the removal of potential interferences. The strip containers are sturdy aluminum cylinders labeled with the test instructions, color comparison scale, and expiration date. Silica is contained inside the tube cap to maintain a dry environment and maximize shelf life.

Excellent Tools for:
 
Field Testing
Stand alone tests that are ideal for environmental applications: streams, lakes, chemical dumps, industrial effluents.
Preliminary Test to Quantative Analysis in the Laboratory
EM Quant Test Strips give semi-quantitative results, which makes them ideal for assuring ions are within linear range of instrumental and wet chemical methods. Reduce wasted analyses and save time.
Safety
EM Quant Test Strips are excellent tools for detecting dangerous levels of peroxides in organic solvents and cleansers in food processing environments.
Production/Process Quality Control
Applicable to most commercial and industrial processes. On site application of test strips removes the need for laboratory analysis and minimizes production interruptions.
 
Rapid Results
Complete most test results in just seconds. For some tests, simply dip the strip in the sample and compare to the color chart on the package. For other tests, the strips are supplied with companion reagents in convenient dispenser bottles.
Sensitive
Test below 1ppm for some ions.
Economical
Less than one dollar per test.
Convenient
Ready to use. Everything you need for each test is included. No mixing. No setup. No equipment.
Easy to Use
Easy-to-follow instructions that do not require a technical background or special skills.
Highly Selective
Specific for each ion tested. Interferences are suppressed by masking elements.
