Quick response Indigo® 0–100 ppm phosphate test strips for wastewater and bioreactor monitoring & are ideal for screening, process checks, Enhanced Biological Phosphorus Removal trend tracking and teaching.

Monitoring phosphate is a core part of wastewater and bioreactor process control. Indigo® phosphate test strips (0–100 ppm) provide a fast, low-cost way to screen influent and effluent, track biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) performance, and detect process upsets before they affect effluent quality. For operators, lab technicians and students, strips are a convenient first-line tool for frequent checks and trend monitoring without specialized instruments.

 

Details
Discipline Learning Outcomes / Key Features
Chemistry Understand phosphate removal processes, including chemical precipitation and biological uptake in activated sludge systems.
Biology / Microbiology Identify the role of phosphate-accumulating organisms (PAOs) in enhanced biological phosphorus removal (EBPR) and bioreactor nutrient cycling.
Environmental Engineering Assess phosphate levels to monitor reactor efficiency and prevent nutrient discharge violations in wastewater treatment operations.
Public Health / Regulation Recognize how phosphate management reduces eutrophication risks downstream and ensures compliance with discharge standards.

Tips for Best Results

  • Collect samples in clean, non-metallic containers; avoid PVC or metal that can leach contaminants.
  • Allow heavy solids to settle or filter samples (0.45 µm) before testing — particulates can interfere with color readout.
  • Read color within the manufacturer’s recommended time window (usually ~60 seconds) under consistent white light.
  • Test repeatedly and log results (time, sample point, temperature) to detect trends rather than relying on single readings.
  • Store strips sealed in a cool, dry place; humidity and light degrade reagents.
  • If readings approach compliance limits or show unexpected spikes, confirm with instrument or lab analysis.

Specifications

This strip indicates results at 10, 25, 50 & 100ppm & has a detection limit of 5 ppm.

  • The number of strips (50) per vial is approximate.
  • Shelf life is 3 years but vial is lined with a desiccant and if properly sealed, strips can last 5 years or more.
