Accurate Indigo® 10,000 ppm quaternary ammonium (quat) test strips for verifying ultra-high sanitizer levels. Essential for invasive species control, industrial sanitation, & regulatory compliance.
Standard quat test strips only measure from 0 to 400 or 500 ppm, but certain applications require testing at far higher concentrations. Our 10,000 ppm quat test strips provide fast, reliable, and accurate measurement of quaternary ammonium compounds (QACs) at ultra-high sanitizer strengths. These test strips are essential for regulatory compliance in biosecurity, invasive species management, industrial-scale sanitation, and quarantine cleaning where maximum concentrations must be verified for safety and effectiveness.
Most quat test kits stop at 400 or 1500 ppm which is well below the 10,000 ppm levels used in invasive species treatment or biosecurity emergencies. Without this higher testing range, results can appear “off the scale” and offer no useful information. 10,000 ppm strips ensure accurate, actionable readings where they matter most.
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.
Many agencies require proof that quaternary ammonium solutions are used at their prescribed strength. These test strips provide fast, defensible documentation that the correct concentration was achieved, supporting audits, inspections, and environmental protocols.

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.

Great Service! Easy to order and great customer service!
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.
