Description

Product Overview

The Industrial Test Systems eXact 486638 DPD-3 Micro Combined/Total Chlorine test strips are engineered for precise measurement of chlorine levels in a wide range of water samples. Designed to work seamlessly with eXact photometers, each strip delivers a digital readout that eliminates guesswork and reduces human error. The strips are manufactured in a controlled U.S. facility, adhering to Good Manufacturing Practices to ensure consistency, traceability, and reliability across every batch. With a detection range of 0.1 to 11 ppm, these strips are suitable for both low‑level monitoring and higher concentration assessments, making them versatile for diverse applications such as municipal water treatment, industrial process control, environmental monitoring, and pool/spa maintenance.

Usage

These chlorine test strips are ideal for laboratory technicians, field engineers, and maintenance personnel who require rapid, accurate results without the need for complex instrumentation. Simply dip the strip into the water sample for the prescribed time, insert it into an eXact photometer, and obtain a clear digital readout. The straightforward two‑step process—dip and read—makes the product accessible to users with varying levels of technical expertise. The 100‑strip bottle provides ample supply for routine monitoring schedules, batch testing, or large‑scale projects. Whether you are verifying the efficacy of a disinfection system, checking compliance with regulatory standards, or maintaining optimal chlorine levels in a swimming pool, these strips deliver consistent performance in both indoor laboratory settings and outdoor field conditions.

FAQ

What type of photometer is required to read these strips?

The strips are calibrated for use with any eXact brand photometer, which provides a digital readout of chlorine concentration after the dip‑and‑read process.

Can these strips be used for both combined and total chlorine measurements?

Yes, the DPD‑3 formulation on the strip reacts with both combined (free) and total chlorine, allowing you to assess the overall chlorine content in the sample.

How should the strips be stored to maintain accuracy?

Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep the cap tightly sealed after each use to protect the strips from moisture and contamination.

What is the shelf life of the test strips?

When stored properly, the strips retain their accuracy for up to 12 months from the date of manufacture. Always check the expiration date printed on the bottle label before use.

Are the strips suitable for field testing in remote locations?

Absolutely. The portable nature of the strips combined with the compact eXact photometer makes them ideal for on‑site testing where laboratory facilities are not available.
