If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.

General description
Peracetic acid is a frequently used disinfectant. Due to its measuring range the MQuant® Peracetic acid test strips are especially suitable to check the presence of effective levels in peracetic acid based disinfectants. As peracetic acid solutions are very unstable, frequent controls are necessary. Peracetic acid reacts with an aromatic amine to form a blue dye. The concentration of peracetic acid is measured semi-quantitatively by visual comparison of the reaction zone of the test strip with the fields of a color scale. The test strips are perfect for pre-testing a sample in an economic and quick way to estimate the peracetic acid concentration and a possible dilution factor prior to using a quantitative method such as a Reflectoquant® test.
Design for sustainability benefits:
We continue to demonstrate our commitment to our planet and a sustainable future by exploring ways to improve existing products in our portfolio. We have recently reviewed the current line of MQuant® test strips to identify key opportunities to minimize impact without compromising on the product performance.
This product has benefited from:
- Test strip with reduction
- Recycled aluminum tube
- Digital instruction leaflet
- Switch from cool storage to room temperature
Application
- Ecotoxicological evaluation of effluent from bovine slaughterhouses disinfected by peracetic acid (PAA): This research assesses the environmental impact of peracetic acid used in the disinfection of wastewater from bovine slaughterhouses, using the bioindicator Girardia tigrina, which is crucial for environmental safety assessments (Pereira et al., 2024).

Is it possible to detect other peracids, and would that follow the same colorimetry ?
1 answer-
Peracetic acid (PAA) kits containing phenol derivatives are designed to selectively detect PAA by reacting it with a phenol derivative, resulting in a color change. The reaction specificity is generally high, allowing for accurate quantification of PAA even in the presence of other oxidizing agents like hydrogen peroxide, because the reaction between PAA and the phenol derivative is unique and doesn't occur significantly with other common oxidants. Other strong oxidants might react with the phenol derivative, but they typically don't produce the same characteristic color or have the same concentration dependence as PAA, so the data would likely not be quantifiable.

How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?
1 answer-
Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf
