The Hydrion QC-1001 is a popular, high-range test paper kit for measuring the concentration (0-1000 ppm) of quaternary ammonium (quat) sanitizers, essential for food service and healthcare to meet health codes and ensure proper disinfection. It provides quick color-change results, indicating if sanitizing solutions are too weak, too strong, or just right, using a convenient dispenser with a color chart for easy comparison.
Key Features:
Purpose: Tests concentration of quat-based sanitizers (like benzalkonium chloride).
Range: Measures from 0 to 1000 parts per million (ppm).
Convenience: Comes in a plastic dispenser with a serrated edge for easy tearing.
Accuracy: Color chart provides matches for 0, 200, 400, 600, 800, and 1000 ppm.
Compliance: Helps meet federal, state, and local health department requirements for sanitizer testing.

How to Use:
Dip a strip of the QC-1001 paper into the room-temperature sanitizer solution.
Remove the strip and instantly compare its color to the provided chart.
The matching color indicates the sanitizer’s concentration, ensuring it’s effective.

Why It’s Used:
Food Service: Verifies sanitizer strength for dishes, utensils, and food-contact surfaces.
Healthcare: Confirms disinfectants are potent enough to prevent contamination.
Economy: Prevents overuse of expensive sanitizers and ensures solutions aren’t exhausted.
