Protect crops and livestock with 10,000 ppm quat test strips. Verify high-strength quaternary ammonium solutions for farm biosecurity and equipment sanitation including pruning tools, livestock footbaths for assured audit compliance.

Farm biosecurity and crop protection require more than everyday sanitation. Modern farming and greenhouse operations face constant pressure from pests, plant pathogens, and animal diseases. 10,000 ppm quat solutions are widely used for agriculture biosecurity and farm sanitation for disinfecting and work benches to preventing cross-contamination in livestock facilities. Indigo® 10K ppm quat strips give farmers & inspectors a quick, reliable way to confirm sanitizer strength, reduce the risk of outbreaks & ensure compliance for GAP, HACCP, & food safety programs. Confidence in sanitation practices meet both practical and regulatory standards is assured.

We've been selling quaternary ammonium (quat) test strips since 2007. Buy fully documented Indigo® QAC test strips, 100 strips/pack with a guaranteed 3 year shelf life (dated back from expiration date "yyyy.mm.dd"); see storage requirements in Specifications.

Best Practices for Agriculture & Farm Biosecurity

  • Use High-Strength Sanitizers Where Needed: use 10K ppm quat solutions for disinfection of tools, benches, irrigation lines, & livestock equipment where resistant pathogens or heavy organic loads are a concern.
  • Test Every Batch of Sanitizer: Always confirm concentration with Indigo® 10,000 ppm quat test strips before use, visual clarity of the solution does not guarantee correct strength.
  • Match the Right Disinfectant to the Task: Greenhouse & crop tools: focus on pruning shears, knives, and benches.
  • Livestock & poultry biosecurity: footbaths, boot dips, pens, and feeding equipment.
  • Refresh Solutions Frequently: Replace sanitizer when it becomes visibly dirty, diluted by rain or irrigation water, or when test strips show loss of concentration.
  • Control the Organic Load: Clean tools and surfaces of soil, sap, and organic matter before sanitizing — organic material binds quats and lowers effectiveness.
  • Monitor pH and Water Quality: Quats are most stable in neutral to slightly alkaline conditions. Avoid hard water buildup that may reduce activity.
  • Train Farm & Greenhouse Staff: Provide clear instructions for mixing, testing, and recording sanitizer concentrations as part of audit readiness and regulatory compliance.
  • Document Sanitation Records: Keep logs of test results, solution changes, and training to satisfy HACCP, GAP, and food safety audits.
  • Integrate with Wider Biosecurity Measures: Pair sanitation with controlled access, pest control, and hygiene protocols to reduce risks from invasive pests and animal/plant pathogens.

Easy to order online, shipment was made in a efficient timeline. Test kits appear to be working but need further experimentation to ensure results are consistent over time.
