Use 10,000 ppm quat test strips to verify treatment solutions for invasive species. Effective for boats, aquatic gear, and equipment decontamination in North America’s changing climate.
Invasive species pose a growing threat to ecosystems, agriculture, and waterways across North America and indeed around the world. Aquatic invaders like zebra mussels & Eurasian watermilfoil & on-land pests such as emerald ash borer can be controlled with very high QAC concentrations by decontaminating equipment, boats, and surfaces.
Indigo® 10,000 ppm quat test strips provide a quick, reliable way to confirm sanitizer strength in the field, & ensure compliance with government protocols while providing effective treatment against invasive organisms.
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 ammonium chlorine 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.
