DPD Glycine Liquid Reagent

Overview

DPD glycine reagent bind free chlorine so that chlorine dioxide, ozone or another oxidant can be read without the chlorine residual contributing to the result. On a plant running two oxidants at once, this is what separates one from the other.

Key features

• Masks free chlorine so a second oxidant can be measured cleanly
• Ready-made reagent, so there is no weighing or dilution on the bench
• Supplied in the 30 ml size, item code PL30DPDGlycine

Frequently asked questions

Why is glycine used in oxidant testing?
It reacts with free chlorine and takes it out of the picture, so the colour that develops afterwards comes only from the other oxidant being measured.

Does this reagent work on its own?
Several photometric methods use two or three reagents in sequence. Check which components your method lists, and we will make sure the set is complete before it ships.

How should liquid reagents be stored?
Cool, dry and out of direct sunlight, with the cap firmly closed. Note the batch and expiry on the bottle, and work through the oldest stock first.
