ORTHO-PHTHALALDEHYDE MEC TEST STRIP
Product Specifications
The Ortho-Phthalaldehyde (OPA) solution minimum effective concentration (MEC) test strip designed and manufactured by ATP Laboratory is a single-use device to be stored in a resealable tube containing desiccant. The colorimetric pad attached to the end of a specially designed strip, to allow for zero contact with the active ingredients, allows for an easy to handle and optimized test which provides an observable result within 60 seconds.
The test strip colouration appears blue when dry and turns fully pink in OPA liquid that is considered a passing result - equal to or greater than the MEC. Any visible blue on the test strip after dipping into an OPA solution indicates a failed result - the test strip will remain blue if dipped into water.
To perform a test, remove a single test strip and dip into the respective OPA solution for 1 second and remove, lightly dab the test along its side on an absorbent paper towel and capture the results precisely 60 seconds after dipping each test strip. Any results captured after 60 seconds are not valid and should not be considered.
GLUTERALDEHYDE MEC TEST STRIP
Product Specifications
The Gluteraldehyde solution minimum effective concentration (MEC) test strip designed and manufactured by ATP Laboratory is a single-use device to be stored in a resealable tube containing desiccant. The colorimetric pad attached to the end of a specially designed strip, to allow for zero contact with the active ingredients, allows for an easy to handle and optimized test which provides an observable result within 10 seconds.
The test strip colouration appears yellow when dry and turns red in GHD liquid that is considered a passing result - equal to or greater than the MEC (80-100%). After dipping into a GHD solution that is below 80% concentration, a failed result will be indicated by either an orange (50-70%) or yellow colour (20-40%)
To perform a test, remove a single test strip and dip into the respective GHD solution for 1 second and remove, lightly shake the test to remove excess liquid and capture the results precisely 10 seconds after dipping each test strip. Any results captured after 10 seconds are not valid and should not be considered.
