General description

Method: Colorimetric with test strips and reagent, 250 - 450 - 700 - 1000 - 1500 mg/L Potassium, MQuant®

The MQuant® Potassium test includes test strips and all necessary additional reagents and is used to determine the potassium content of drinking water, mineral water, industrial water and waste water, soil samples, wine, beer and fruit juices. Potassium ions react with dipicrylamine to form an orange-colored complex. The potassium concentration 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 potassium concentration and a possible dilution factor prior to using a quantitative method such as a Reflectoquant® or Spectroquant® Potassium 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
