General description
Method: Colorimetric, with test strips, 0.5 - 2 - 5 - 10 -
25 mg/L (H2O2), MQuant®
Peroxide is an all purpose disinfectant which, due to its
excellent antiviral, bactericidal and fungicidal action, is widely used in the
food industry. Here, the MQuant® test strips are ideal for controlling the
residual peroxide after disinfection. Peroxidase transfers peroxide oxygen to
an organic redox indicator. This produces a blue oxidation product. The
peroxide concentration is measured semiquantitatively by visual comparison of
the reaction zone of the test strip with the fields of a color scale. The test
strips are perfect for pre-testing a sample in an economic and quick way to
estimate the peroxide concentration and a possible dilution factor prior to
using a quantitative method such as a Reflectoquant® or
Spectroquant® Peroxide test.
Design for sustainability benefits:
We continue to demonstrate our commitment to our planet and
a sustainable future by exploring ways to improve existing products in our
portfolio. We have recently reviewed the current line of MQuant® test
strips to identify key opportunities to minimize impact without compromising on
the product performance.

Application
- Application
of copper (I) selective ligands for PET imaging of reactive oxygen
species: This research uses peroxide detection in biomedical
imaging to trace reactive oxygen species in vivo, aiding in the diagnosis
and study of diseases associated with oxidative stress (Tada et al.,
2024).
- Optimization
of Pressurized Liquid Extraction (PLE) Parameters for Extraction of
Bioactive Compounds: This study employs peroxide tests in the
extraction of bioactive compounds from plant materials, enhancing the
efficiency of natural product extraction processes (Chatzimitakos et al., 2024).
- Highly
Sensitive, Easy-to-Use, One-Step Detection of Peroxide-, Nitrate- and
Chlorate-Based Explosives: Developing highly sensitive detection
methods for explosives using electron-rich Ni porphyrins, this application
serves crucial roles in safety and security fields, demonstrating the
versatility of peroxide tests (Brockmann et al., 2024).
