Hydrogen peroxide test strips are an indicator to measure the residual concentration of hydrogen peroxide in a solution. They are stored in a plastic packaging container or vial to protect them from exposure to sunlight and moisture retaining shelf life, usually in a quantity of 100 strips.
The test strips consist of a stiff strip of plastic which is white to provide for good colour and contrast comparison. At the end of the strip is an indicator pad which reacts with hydrogen peroxide changing colour to signify an indication of detected peroxide concentration.
Provided with the test strip (usually on the container) is a colour chart which displays the indicative hydrogen peroxide concentration range the test strips detect and is used to compare to strips directly side by side.
Test strips give a quick and easy evaluation and are inexpensive when compared with electronic measuring equipment which also needs regular calibration.
