General description

Method: Colorimetric, with test strips and reagent, 5 - 20 - 50 - 100 - 250 mg/L (Mo), MQuant®

The main use of the MQuant® Molybdenum test is for boiler and cooling water analysis. The purpose is to determine the concentration of molybdenum or molybdate which is used as a corrosion inhibitor. The test includes test strips and all necessary additional reagents. In acidic solution molybdate ions react with toluene- 3,4-dithiol to form a green complex. The molybdenum concentration is measured semi-quantitatively by visual comparison of the reaction zone of the test strip with the fields of a color scale. The test strips are perfect for pre-testing a sample in an economic and quick way to estimate the molybdenum concentration and a possible dilution factor prior to using a quantitative method such as a Spectroquant® test.

Design for sustainability benefits:

We continue to demonstrate our commitment to our planet and a sustainable future by exploring ways to improve existing products in our portfolio. We have recently reviewed the current line of MQuant® test strips to identify key opportunities to minimize impact without compromising on the product performance.

This product has benefited from:

  • Test strip with reduction
  • Recycled aluminum tube
  • Digital instruction leaflet
