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.

Protecting Crops: Greenhouse & Field Sanitation

High-strength quaternary ammonium sanitizers are often used in agriculture to reduce the spread of fungal spores, bacteria, and viruses that can devastate crops. Tools such as pruning shears, greenhouse benches, and irrigation lines can harbor pathogens unless properly disinfected. Indigo® 10,000 ppm quat test strips for agriculture provide growers with the ability to confirm that these stronger solutions are mixed correctly, ensuring effective sanitation without waste. Accurate monitoring protects crops while maintaining worker and environmental safety.

Livestock & Poultry Biosecurity

Poultry barns, dairy operations and hog facilities are subject to attack by pathogens such as avian influenza, Salmonella, and E. coli which can spread quickly. Footbaths, housing surfaces, and feeding equipment require higher strength disinfectants than those used in typical janitorial settings. By using farm biosecurity quaternary ammonium testing, producers can verify 10,000 ppm sanitizers are maintained at effective concentrations, reducing the risk of outbreaks that threaten both herd health and farm economics.

On-Farm Compliance & Audit Readiness

Agriculture and food safety regulators often require documented sanitation programs, especially where high-value crops or livestock are involved. High strength quat strips for livestock sanitation help producers demonstrate that proper disinfectant levels are being used in footbaths, spray systems, and wash stations. For greenhouse operations, quat sanitizer greenhouse benches pruning tools testing ensures auditors see reliable, measurable biosecurity controls. Indigo® 10,000 ppm test strips are fully documented & provide the necessary confidence for HACCP plans, GAP audits, and other compliance reviews.

All Indigo® Quat (QAC) test strips come in 100 (not 50) strips per pack & 3 year minimum guaranteed shelf life backed by a Certificate of Analysis, Stability & SDS documents as listed below; Certificate of Conformance on request. Be prepared for any health & safety audit or inspection.

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.

Specifications
Dip strip & remove for immediate readings at 1000-2500-5000-10000 ppm for quaternary ammonium disinfectant concentration. Read strip results immediately. If you wait the 30 seconds needed for some other strips you will get a reading that is too high.
 
  • Indigo® test strips have a guaranteed minimum 3 year shelf life but are stored in desiccant lined vials so actual shelf life can be 5+ years.
  • For technical explanation, read: Sanitizer Test Strip Expiration; Good Today, Dead Tomorrow?
  • These strips measure any quat formulation
  • Indigo® QAC test strips are calibrated for Oasis 146: see details. Consult your supplier if necessary.
  • The number of strips (100) per vial is approximate.

Indigo® brand test strips are Made in USA & tested for accuracy using NIST compliant standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ for Agriculture Biosecurity Quat Testing

Many agricultural and livestock biosecurity protocols use concentrated quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) for disinfecting equipment, footwear, and vehicles. Standard food-service strips (0–400 ppm) are too low-range, but these 10,000 ppm strips ensure compliance when higher concentrations are needed.

Yes. They provide a rapid, on-site measure of whether the solution is still at the required strength or has been degraded/diluted. This is crucial in preventing the spread of soilborne pathogens, fungal spores, or animal diseases.

Laboratory titration or chromatography offers exact numbers but is time-consuming and costly. These strips offer quick, reliable field verification at the farm gate, greenhouse entry, or livestock facility.

Yes. Because they are simple, portable, and require no special equipment, they are used at border crossings and agricultural checkpoints to verify QAC treatment levels on imported goods or transport.
