Spectroquant^® tests: Top quality drinking water thanks to fast, reliable, and eco-friendly tests

Spectroquant^® Ammonium Cell Test

Merck’s Spectroquant^® tests make it easy to monitor the purity grade of drinking water. Validated and standard-compliant test kits are available for many parameters – fast, reliable and eco-friendly.

Spectroquant^® cell and reagent tests from Merck offer guaranteed sound solutions for drinking water analyses. Anyone who produces it, uses it, or processes it, must comply with the highest quality demands and strict national test regulations. According to a 1998 EU Directive, any alternative methods of testing drinking water that fulfill the quality criteria specified in the directive are permissible – just like the Spectroquant^® test system from Merck. You can download a detailed outline of the potential applications in reporting or for screening using the entire Spectroquant^® test kit range here.

Spectroquant^® tests for drinking water analyses: Many of the tests are recognized by the US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)

Merck’s Spectroquant^® cell and reagent test kits can be used to analyze many parameters when screening drinking water. About 80 percent of the Spectroquant^® methods use chemicals that comply with national and international standards. The US Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has even officially recognized many of the Spectroquant^® tests, including the chlorine, CSB, phosphor, and sulfate tests. Many of the test kits contain chemicals that are less toxic than comparable test kits available in the market, which makes them suitable for especially eco-friendly processes. By using Spectroquant^®, you too can do your part to increase workplace safety and protect the environment.

Spectroquant^® NOVA and Pharo photometers are known in the market as easy-to-use instruments that deliver high quality test results. They employ the convenient barcode reading system for cell and reagent tests. Thanks to this system, the screening method does not need to be entered manually. Quality assurance is also a crucial factor: reliable and reproducible test results are only possible when processes are tracked and documented right from the very start. By using Spectroquant^®, you benefit from the proven instrument-supported Analytical Quality Assurance (AQA). You can download necessary method updates for Spectroquant^® photometers as well as programming data if you want to use Spectroquant^® test kits with instruments from other manufacturers.
