Indigo® pH 4.5-10 test strips are ideal for accurate measurement of most foods & drinks as well as urine & saliva. Only $13.95/100 strips.
pH 4.5-10 triple pad test strips are good for enhanced pH verification. Use them for saliva, urine and science fair demonstrations where resolution is needed for a narrower range than the 1-14 version. This can be very handy when testing different foods and drinks which occur mostly in this range.
pH, the "potential of Hydrogen", is the negative logarithm of hydrogen ion concentration in an aqueous (water based) solution. Those solutions with pH less than 7 are acidic while those with a pH greater than 7 are basic or alkaline. pH 7 is neutral. If material like archival paper is neutral or higher than pH 7, then it is essentially acid free.
Indigo® pH 4.5-10 triple pad test strips are calibrated at ~pH 5.75. Changes can be subtle & appear different under fluorescent, incandescent or sunlight. So, tests done outdoors might appear a bit different when compared/repeated in a kitchen, lab, hatchery, roastery, etc.
This comes with our standard shelf life of 3 years or more if kept sealed even after opening but in practice they never expire. See our blog Test Strip Expiration Dates: Good Today, Dead Tomorrow?.
You can also use Indigo® pH 0-7 test strips or pH 4-7 test strips to measure acidity.
I bought these to verify what the contractor said. I'm glad I did because they proved him correct. My tap water is close to 6.5pH, but the "5-gallon filtered bottled water" from the self-fill machine at the grocery store is between 6 and 5.5 pH. The grocery store water is slightly more acidic than the water from the sink/tap. The normal range is said to be 6 to 8.5. I'll have to research the meaning of these findings, perhaps try another store's water and see what I get. The purchase was well worth it!
Surprised by the new packaging, but think it will be better than the old. Delivery as always was quick, we will continue to purchase these test strips.
These test strips are extremely accurate and I will only purchase the test strips from here! Thank you

Excellent product. The strips are packaged well and easy to use. The triple pads make it quite easy to read very accurately. The order was very well packaged and delivered quickly.

Usually just two of the three pads change color at any given pH level. Find the closest match to the three blocks (in the same row) on the color chart. Three-pad pH test strips are good differing lighting conditions. Colors may appear different under fluorescent, quartz or incandescent lighting. The best lighting is a cloudy sky at high noon.
Thanks for your review and continued support. The packaging was changed by the manufacturer at end of 2021 to allow increased protection, quicker dispensing of strips and allow the new label layout to be utilized.
