Method: Colorimetric, with test strips, 4 - 8 - 12 - 16 - 24°d, MQuant^®

The MQuant^® Carbonate hardness test strips are suitable for a rapid determination of carbonate hardness. Carbonate hardness (“temporary hardness”, alkalinity) is that proportion of hardness ions for which there is an equivalent amount of anions of carbonic acid (hydrogen carbonate and carbonate). As an alternative to testing for carbonate hardness with a test strip, one can also use a titration method. By using MQuant^® titration tests (e.g. 111103) lower concentrations can be measured with finer graduation.

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
