General description

Method: Colorimetric, with test strips, 100 - 150 - 200 - 250 - 300 - 400 - 500 mg/L Peracetic acid, MQuant®

Peracetic acid is a frequently used disinfectant. Due to its measuring range the MQuant® Peracetic acid test strips are especially suitable to check the presence of effective levels in peracetic acid based disinfectants. As peracetic acid solutions are very unstable, frequent controls are necessary. Peracetic acid reacts with an aromatic amine to form a blue dye. The concentration of peracetic acid is measured semi-quantitatively 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

Application


  • Efficient activation of peracetic acid by cobalt modified nitrogen-doped carbon nanotubes for drugs degradation: This study explores a novel method to enhance the efficacy of peracetic acid in degrading pharmaceutical compounds, highlighting its potential in environmental disinfection monitoring and safety applications in pharmaceutical manufacturing (Yao et al., 2024).

  • Ecotoxicological evaluation of effluent from bovine slaughterhouses disinfected by peracetic acid (PAA): This research assesses the environmental impact of peracetic acid used in the disinfection of wastewater from bovine slaughterhouses, using the bioindicator Girardia tigrina, which is crucial for environmental safety assessments (Pereira et al., 2024).

  • Peracetic acid activated by nickel cobaltite as effective oxidizing agent for BPA and its analogues degradation: This article presents a method for activating peracetic acid with nickel cobaltite to degrade BPA and its analogs effectively, addressing concerns over biocide efficacy and environmental safety (Kiejza et al., 2024).

  • Accelerated removal of naproxen in the iron-based peracetic acid activation system by chloride ions: The study focuses on enhancing reactive oxidative species in water treatment processes, showing how chloride ions can boost peracetic acid′s efficiency, important for biocide applications and safety testing (Yu et al., 2024).
