Effective for coronavirus, norovirus & drug resistant strains of bacteria such as MRSA. These strips are well suited for use in places as diverse as hospitals to hair salons. Use also in conjunction with tomato wash water testing.
Chlorine bound by organic contamination (blood/feces) seriously reduces the effectiveness of bleach disinfectant solutions. You may need 1000ppm minimum to ensure adequate disinfection, so start with a higher initial concentrations, up to 10,000ppm (1%). Indigo® extra high level 5000-10000 ppm test strips will confirm your surface disinfectant spray is effective in the presence of binding organics.
Chlorine bleach at these high concentrations is an effective germicide for dangerous viral & bacterial pathogens such as MRSA (methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus) staph infections & Clostridium difficile, found ever more frequently in hospitals and other health care facilities.
Having trouble trying to calculate how to prepare a 1000, 2500, 5000, 10,000 (or other) ppm chlorine solution? Take out the dilution guesswork using our chlorine dilution calculator. It's in metric (NIH, FDA, EPA, do it that way before converting to American units). You can too. A quart is close to a litre, a gallon is 4 litres, a cup is 250ml, a tablespoon is 15mL & a teaspoon is 5ml. There's no need to be exact since the guidelines allow for this.
I have ordered these from Indigo Instruments for years. They are always shipped quickly and the product is of good quality.
