Descripción

General description

Method: Colorimetric, with test strips and reagent, 10 - 25 - 50 - 100 - 250 - 500 mg/L (PO₄^3-), MQuant^®

The MQuant^® Phosphate test includes test strips and all necessary additional reagents. It is suitable for determining orthophosphate in wastewater, soil samples, fertilizers and food. In sulfuric solution orthophosphate ions (PO₄^3-) react with molybdate ions to form molybdophosphoric acid, which is reduced to phosphomolybdenum blue (PMB). The phosphate 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 phosphate concentration and a possible dilution factor prior to using a quantitative method such as a Reflectoquant^® or Spectroquant^® Phosphate 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

• Zinc and Silicon Nano-Fertilizers Influence Ionomic and Metabolite Profiles in Maize to Overcome Salt Stress: This research utilizes phosphate tests in the study of plant physiology, specifically to gauge the efficacy of nano-fertilizers in enhancing phosphate uptake under salt stress conditions, providing insights into sustainable agricultural practices (Shoukat A et al., 2024).
• Investigation of Mechanical Properties of Polymer-Infiltrated Tetrapodal Zinc Oxide in Different Variants: Applies phosphate testing in the field of materials science to assess the interaction of phosphate with novel composite materials, thereby informing the development of more durable and efficient materials for various industrial applications (Scherer F et al., 2024).
