Reflectoquant® Peracetic Acid Tests for High, Low, and now Medium Concentration Ranges

Peracetic Acid: A Potent Antimicrobial Agent

Peracetic acid (PAA) is a highly effective, environmentally friendly disinfectant. Due to its potency against a wide range of microorganisms, peracetic acid is used in a variety of fields, such as the food and beverage industry, pharmaceutical companies, agriculture, and hospitals, as well as by disinfectant producers.

• Cleaning of pipes with alkaline PAA solution to avoid corrosion
• Disinfection of bottles which are re-filled for drinking water
• Surface disinfection in production facilities
• Instrument disinfection in hospitals
• Emergency disinfection for protection of civilians and army personnel

Disinfectant Monitoring: Essential for Safety

As with all disinfectants, monitoring the concentration of peracetic acid prior to application, and checking for residues after the cleaning process are extremely important. This is because the agent’s concentration must be high enough for effective disinfection, and it should be thoroughly removed from products and surfaces to prevent contamination.

A Complete Range for Complete Security and Flexibility

To help ensure safe disinfection of products and production plants, Merck already offers highly reliable, easy-to-use Reflectoquant® test strips for monitoring low and high concentrations of peracetic acid. Now, we’ve completed our product portfolio by introducing test strips for the medium concentration range of 20-100mg/l peracetic acid. With this addition, you can check disinfectant concentrations anywhere between 1 and 400 mg/l, giving you greater flexibility and security in your cleaning process.

New Product… Same Clear Benefits

Like our existing products, the new Peracetic Acid Test also offers the simplicity and precision of the Reflectoquant® system . The test strips are measured in RQflex® 10 or RQflex® 10 plus reflectometers , and work with barcode calibration to provide you with reliable, quantitative and documented results – in a matter of minutes. All required reagents are included in the package, and thoroughly controlled for quality to ensure truly accurate and reproducible results.
