Product Overview
The Whatman Panph Plus pH Test Strips (0-14 range) are engineered for precision and reliability in pH measurement. Each strip measures 6x85MM, offering a wide detection spectrum from highly acidic (0) to highly alkaline (14) solutions. The non-bleeding indicator pads ensure clear, easy-to-read results without color interference, while the sturdy plastic backing prevents contamination and extends shelf life. These strips are manufactured under stringent quality controls, guaranteeing consistent performance across batches. The rapid response time—typically under 30 seconds—makes them ideal for high-throughput applications where efficiency is critical. The compact, moisture-resistant packaging preserves integrity during storage, ensuring accuracy even after prolonged use. Unlike liquid pH indicators, these strips eliminate the need for additional equipment, simplifying workflows while maintaining lab-grade precision. Their versatility extends to compatibility with a broad range of aqueous solutions, though they are not intended for non-aqueous or viscous samples. The neutral pH paper base minimizes background interference, enhancing result clarity. For optimal performance, store in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and volatile chemicals.
FAQs
1. How do I interpret the color changes on these pH strips?
Compare the strip’s color to the provided chart after dipping it in the solution for 1-2 seconds. Match the closest shade to determine the pH value.
2. Can these strips be used for testing semi-solid or viscous samples?
No, they are designed for aqueous solutions only. Viscous or semi-solid samples may not provide accurate readings due to uneven wetting.
3. What is the shelf life of these pH test strips?
When stored unopened in the original packaging at room temperature, they remain stable for up to 2 years from the date of manufacture.
4. Are these strips compatible with organic solvents like ethanol or acetone?
No, organic solvents can damage the indicator dyes and compromise accuracy. Use only with water-based solutions.
5. How should I dispose of used pH test strips?
Dispose of them as general lab waste unless contaminated with hazardous materials, in which case follow local biohazard disposal protocols.
