Merckoquant ® COMBINING ULTIMATE SIMPLICITY WITH SPEED Test strips are true high-tech products – a mobile laboratory on just a few square millimeters of backing. Merckoquant® test strips are suitable for the semiquantitative detection of ions and of inorganic and organic substances. They can be used to measure concentrations from as low as 1 or 10 mg/l as the case may be right up to the g per liter range.
PRODUCT RANGE Merckoquant® test strips allow more than 30 different identification tests and semiquantitative determinations to be performed. For some substances we even provide several different test strips to cover various detection ranges, so that in all our range consists of more than 40 different Merckoquant® tests. The standard pack contains 100 test strips in an aluminium tube fitted with a desiccant-filled stopper. User information is provided in 4 languages.
POINTS TO OBSERVE WHEN HANDLING MERCKOQUANT® PRODUCTS 1. Thoroughly wet the reaction zones on the strip 2. After the prescribed reaction time (10 sec to by briefly (1 sec) dipping them in the solution being max. 2 min) has elapsed, compare the color of tested. Remove excess liquid by stroking the edge the reaction zone with the color scale printed on of the strip against the rim of the sample vessel, or the pack, and read off the concentration. using an absorbent paper towel.
QUALITY ASSURANCE Merck uses certified standard solutions to adjust and check the tests and the faithfulness of the reference colors. These standard solutions are directly traceable to primary reference standards from NIST and PTB, a factor instrumental in assuring the high quality of Merckoquant® test strips. RISK AND SAFETY PHRASES Please read the risk (R) and safety (S) phrases printed on reagent packs. Keep Merckoquant® test strips out of reach of children.
