Hydrion S/R Quat Check 1000 0-1000ppm Test Papers Quaternary Sanitizer Kit NIP

Description

Hydrion Quat Check 1000 Test Paper
simple, reliable, and economical
measures:
concentration
of Quaternary Sanitizers
,
specifically
Alkyldimethylbenzyl ammonium compounds, Rocall II, and Hyamine 3500.
(for testing: n-alkyl dimethyl benzyl and/or
n-alkyl dimethyl ethyl benzyl ammonium chloride)
The Color matches within the Hi Range concentration at 0-200-400-600-800-1000ppm (parts per million).
Test kit is used for detecting exhaustion of solutions that should be replaced as well as helping to avoid using excessive amounts of sanitizing agents.
Federal, State and Local health regulations require users of Quaternary Ammonium Sanitizer Solutions to have appropriate test kits available to verify the strength of sanitizer solutions
.
Sanitizer solutions are essential in the food service industry to ensure that sanitizers are at the proper concentration specified by the individual manufacturer.
Each kit is one (1)15-foot roll of test paper and matching color chart. Provides for approximately 150 tests per roll!
Strips/test paper change color based on the amount of chemical in the solution, easy to read and compare to chart.
Simple Directions
Dip the strip into the sanitizing solution and remove at once. Immediately compare the resulting color with the enclosed color chart which match concentrations of 0-200-400-600-800-1000ppm
Contact your Local, State or Federal Health Department for Quaternary Ammonium Sanitizer concentration requirements. These concentrations may vary depending on your specific application.
With changes in regulations, materials, and resources, the frequency of food-borne illness has decreased significantly since the days when old-fashioned, unhygienic porous kitchen materials were prevalent. Yet despite all this, "Contaminated equipment and utensils have been cited as one of the leading risk factors most responsible for foodborne illness outbreaks in the United States (1)."
With increased awareness and a variety of approved sanitizers, it falls to the education, training, and testing of the efficacy of the process.
"FDA-sanctioned sanitizers must destroy 99.999% of harmful bacteria within 30 seconds of a single application, be stable under a myriad of environmental conditions, and have low toxicity. Chemical sanitizers, which are registered through the Environmental Protection Agency, are reviewed for concentration efficacy, safety data and product labeling information prior to being approved."
The sanitizers work, if they're mixed, stored, and used properly. That requires training and testing.
"Federal, state, and local health regulations require companies to verify the concentration of chemical solutions through sanitizer test kits (11)."
Sanitizing efforts are only as good as their application, so testing the efficacy is critical in preventing the growth and spread of bacteria, fungi, viruses and other spoilage organisms in the food processing environment.
The simplest (and mandated) way to test the effectiveness of the sanitizers is by using test kits, strips. Micro Essential Laboratory, the leading choice of regulators and food preparation establishments, offers kits and specific strips that change color based on the amount of chemical in the solution, as well as strips to determine the correct mixtures, with easy to read and compare charts.
