Isothiazolinone Reagent 1

Overview

Isothiazolinone reagent 1 measure isothiazolinone, the non-oxidising biocide dosed into cooling water and process systems to control bacteria, algae and fungi. Because it is dosed as a slug rather than held continuously, confirming the concentration is how you know the treatment reached its target.

Key features

• Confirms non-oxidising biocide concentration after a slug dose
• Ready-made reagent, so there is no weighing or dilution on the bench
• Supplied in the 30 ml size, item code PL30Isoz1

Frequently asked questions

Why measure a non-oxidising biocide?
A slug dose has to reach an effective concentration for long enough to work. Measuring the level proves the dose landed rather than being diluted or lost to system demand.

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.
