Intended Use:These copper test strips detect Copper ions (Cu2+) in water samples including drinking water and source water, well water, surface water, swimming pool and spa water, mineral water, sewage and industrial effluents.
Principle:In an ammonia medium Cu2+ reacts with the reagent to form a brownish-yellow complex. The developed color intensity is proportional to the Cu2+ concentration.
Product Testing Scope (detection concentration grid):Parameter: Cu2+ (Cu2+)
Detection concentration steps: 0 | 1 | 2.5 | 5 | 10 | 30 | 100 | 300
Unit: mg/L
Additional Information:Suitable matrices: drinking water and source water, well water, surface water, pool & spa water, mineral water, sewage, industrial wastewater. Read results by comparing the brownish-yellow color to the supplied color chart; color depth correlates with Cu2+ concentration.
