Peroxide Rapid Test Strip
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) has a long-established history of use as a preservative in milk worldwide. The use of H2O2 to activate the inherent lactoperoxidase enzyme system has dramatically improved the quality of raw dairy products in areas in which cooling is not widely available. Determination of hydrogen peroxide can be done by the determination of peroxide in samples. Currently, colorimetric, enzymatic assays, etc are employed in peroxide testing. This Peroxide rapid test strip is based on a colorimetric assay in which H2O2 reacts with TMB and produce a blue color, which can be observed and compared with a standard color pad provided in the kit. The content of H2O2 contained in sample is then estimated.
