Dealing with aquatic invasive species (AIS)? Then you need Indigo® 10,000ppm quat test strips to verify treatment solutions used for boats, aquatic gear, and equipment decontamination.
Aquatic invasive species pose a growing threat to ecosystems, agriculture, and waterways across North America and indeed around the world. Indigo® 10,000ppm quat test strips, can ensure lethal strengths of disinfectant for whirling disease, spiny water flea, New Zealand mud snail, Asian clams, zebra mussels & Eurasian watermilfoil as well as emerald ash borer.
Why use Indigo® 10,000ppm quat test strips when many jurisdictions recommend just 1500ppm? Disinfectants can become diluted throughout the day & drop below this level. Our strips come with a colour chart calibrated for 1000, 2500 & 5000ppm. The latter two values ensure the strength needed is available all day; essential especially in remote locations.
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.
Chemical control of certain invasive species can be effected with 4000-5000ppm levels of quaternary ammonium sanitizer solutions. Measure the strength of your diluted quat solution before you use it in your high traffic & touch point areas. Ideal for quaternary ammonium chloride cleaners used in phytosanitary bootbaths as an algal biocide or an additive in large scale industrial water system to limit unwanted biological growth.

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.
A Certificate of Conformance is available on request after shipment.
Indigo® Quat (QAC) test strips are made in USA & calibrated with NIST standards.
QAC test strips use various surfactants, buffers, and indicators to employ the protein-error of indicators effect.
