Description

General description

Method: Colorimetric, with test strips, 0.5 - 2 - 5 - 10 - 25 mg/L (H₂O₂), MQuant^®

Peroxide is an all purpose disinfectant which, due to its excellent antiviral, bactericidal and fungicidal action, is widely used in the food industry. Here, the MQuant® test strips are ideal for controlling the residual peroxide after disinfection. Peroxidase transfers peroxide oxygen to an organic redox indicator. This produces a blue oxidation product. The peroxide concentration is measured semiquantitatively 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 peroxide concentration and a possible dilution factor prior to using a quantitative method such as a Reflectoquant^® or Spectroquant^® Peroxide 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

• Application of copper (I) selective ligands for PET imaging of reactive oxygen species: This research uses peroxide detection in biomedical imaging to trace reactive oxygen species in vivo, aiding in the diagnosis and study of diseases associated with oxidative stress (Tada et al., 2024).



• Optimization of Pressurized Liquid Extraction (PLE) Parameters for Extraction of Bioactive Compounds: This study employs peroxide tests in the extraction of bioactive compounds from plant materials, enhancing the efficiency of natural product extraction processes (Chatzimitakos et al., 2024).



• Highly Sensitive, Easy-to-Use, One-Step Detection of Peroxide-, Nitrate- and Chlorate-Based Explosives: Developing highly sensitive detection methods for explosives using electron-rich Ni porphyrins, this application serves crucial roles in safety and security fields, demonstrating the versatility of peroxide tests (Brockmann et al., 2024).
