• Chlorine is widely used for disinfection of swimming pools, water mains and water reservoirs. Dosed correctly, harmful microorganisms are safely destroyed, many impurities removed and the growth of algae is prevented. Electroplaters use chlorine for the detoxification of cyanide containing waste

• Regular checking of the chlorine concentration is essential to keep it at the desired level. Excessive chlorine not only impairs the smell and taste of water but can also be hazardous

• In water Chlorine occurs either free or bound for example as Chloramines. Total chlorine is the sum of both levels

• For the sensitive determination of Chlorine in swimming pool, we recommend our swimming pool tests

• Allows the quick and easy detection of low range total Chlorine (total chloramines). The easy dip-and-read procedure provides reliable results within 20 sec

• Chlorine is mainly known for its use as a disinfectant, but used in many other applications as well. Testing of chlorine levels is important in many areas due to the strong oxidizing qualities of chlorine and its potentially adverse health effects

• Used to detect low range chlorine in disinfectants (e.g. dialysis, hospitals, food industry, pools & spas etc), in rinse and drinking water

• In aquacultures and fish farming, chlorine levels have to be monitored carefully because they can be harmful to aquatic life. Preferably, values are below 5 ppm

• The easy dip-and-read-procedure provides a reliable result within 15 seconds

• Complexing agents like EDTA (Ethylendiaminetetraaccetate) or NTA (Nitrilotriacetic acid) have replaced phosphates as additives in washing and cleaning solutions. QUANTOFIX EDTA is therefore ideal to check the concentration of washing and cleaning solutions

• In proteomics labs, EDTA is also used to regenerate Ni- and Co-precharged chromatography columns (FPLC columns) which are used to purify recombinant proteins. Prior to the successive analysis, QUANTOFIX EDTA is used to control, if EDTA has completely rinsed out. This may dramatically reduce the rinse time and therefore increase the throughput and the capacity

• The following complexing agents can also be determined: - Nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA), - Cyclohexanedinitrilo-(1,2)-tetraacetic acid, - Diethyltrinitrilopentaacetic acid, - Bis(aminoethyl)glykol-ether-N,N,N,N-tetraacetic acid. Conversion factor: 1 mg/l EDTA = 0.7 mg/l NTA
