Industrial Test Systems Strip DPD-1 Free Chlorine Reagent 10mL Kit

Description

Product Overview

The Industrial Test Systems Strip DPD-1 Free Chlorine Reagent 10mL Kit is engineered for precise measurement of free chlorine concentrations ranging from 0.0 to 6.0 ppm. Packaged in a compact 3.25 × 1.75 × 1.75 inch container weighing just over 3 pounds, the kit contains 50 individually sealed test strips designed for use with 10 mL photometers or colorimeters. Each strip follows a two‑step dip‑and‑read protocol that eliminates the need for complex preparation, making it suitable for both seasoned laboratory technicians and non‑technical field operators. The reagent chemistry is based on the DPD (N,N‑diethyl‑p‑phenylenediamine) method, a widely accepted standard for chlorine analysis, ensuring that results are comparable across different testing platforms. The product bears the model number 481647 and is manufactured by Industrial Test Systems, Inc. (Sensafe) under Good Manufacturing Practices, guaranteeing reproducibility, traceability, and compliance with industry standards. Quality control checks are performed at every production stage, and any batch that falls outside the specified concentration range is rejected, providing users with confidence in the reliability of each test strip.

Usage

This reagent kit is versatile enough to serve a broad spectrum of water testing applications. In municipal water treatment facilities, operators can quickly verify residual chlorine levels to ensure disinfection efficacy and regulatory compliance. Environmental monitoring teams use the strips to assess chlorine concentrations in natural water bodies, confirming that discharge limits are not exceeded. Industrial users, such as food‑processing plants and cooling‑tower operators, rely on the rapid dip‑and‑read method to monitor system performance and prevent corrosion caused by improper chlorine dosing. The kit is also valuable for educational institutions teaching water chemistry, as the straightforward protocol allows students to observe color changes and understand the underlying analytical principles. Because the strips are stable at room temperature and require only a small volume of sample (10 mL), they are ideal for on‑site testing in remote locations where laboratory access is limited. The product’s compatibility with a range of photometers, including the eXact series, ensures that digital readouts are accurate and consistent, reducing the potential for human error associated with visual comparison methods.
