Disinfection and cleaning control – fast, simple, reliable
New easy-to-use Merckoquant^® test strip for glutardialdehyde

As a company with worldwide reputation for its specific expertise in measurement and analysis systems, Merck offers innovative products that can rapidly and reliably answer many of the questions asked by professionals in the clinical, in the pharmaceutical and also in the food industries: How can we easily ensure the effectiveness of cleaning and hygiene in our facilities? Is our equipment really clean and safe for our patients and employees? Do the disinfectant solutions we use have the effective concentrations? Are we getting the best possible value for money from our cleaning program?

Merckoquant^® test strips – now also for glutardialdehyde
There is a simple but powerful solution for answering these questions: Merck’s easy-to-use Merckoquant^® test strips for efficient disinfection and cleaning control. Now, Merck further complements its successful Merckoquant^® product range: With our new test, you can easily and quickly check for effective concentrations of glutardialdehyde.
Glutaraldehyde-based agents are widely used for disinfection in hospitals, food production or the pharmaceutical industry. Because concentration of glutaraldehyde in disinfectants can inadvertently decrease over time, it is necessary to frequently determine whether an effective concentration of glutaraldehyde is still present in the agent. Merckoquant^® test strips help you to control your cleaning and disinfection processes by measuring the concentration of the disinfectants used or detecting residues from the disinfection or cleaning process. Small, dependable and easy to use, Merckoquant^® test strips can contribute significantly to your service and product quality.
