Peroxidase Test Strips, colorimetric

Method: Colorimetric with test strips MQuant^®

The product quality of milk depends heavily on successful pasteurization. To verify this, the lactoperoxidase activity must be measured regularly. The MQuant^® Peroxidase test makes process control during milk pasteurization easier, without incurring high costs. Under the catalytic effect of peroxidase, an organic redox indicator is converted into a blue compound. The visual comparison of the reaction zone of the test strip with the fields of a color scale shows whether there is any peroxidase activity present (+, ++) or not (-).

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
