Water test strips - Overview


Water test stips from Thermo Electron make testing of common water parameters easy. No reagents, no photometers, just simple 'dip and compare colour' make these tests easy, even for non-scientifically trained staff.

Chlorine (free and total), peroxide, nitrate/nitrite, copper, iron, chloride and hardness are amongst the parameters measured either individually or as multi-parameter strips.

The strips are available in bottles or 50 or in individually foil wrapped strips for product integrity. No reagents also means no safety data sheets or documentation requirement.





  • No reagents
  • No safety data sheets
  • Ideal for non-scientific staff
  • Individually foil wrapped

The water test strips are ideal for field checks of water quality.They are not intended to replace lengthy, expensive laboratory tests but give a clear indication of whether they are necessary. Typical applications include:

  • Environmental testing, e.g. nitrate levels in water
  • Food testing, e.g. nitrite levels in food
  • Vegetable cleaning, e.g. chlorine levels in washes
  • Diary industry, e.g. iodine levels in washes
  • Boiler feed water, e.g. chlorine levels
  • Pollution testing, e.g. lead in soil
  • Heavy metal testing, e.g. copper in water
  • Home water testing, e.g. hardness, alkalinity
  • Education, e.g. classroom kits
