About QUANTOFIX test strips
Citric acid is present in trace amounts in citrus fruits and added to food as a preserving component, flavoring and antioxidant. It is also used in cleaners (removes hard chalky deposits e.g. in coffee machines and boilers) and pharmaceuticals. Range of application for the QUANTOFIX Total acid test strips are especially for food- and beverage industrie.
QUANTOFIX Total acid test strips can be evaluated both visually and reflectometrically with the QUANTOFIX Relax (REF 913 46). |
