ChloroSense conducts tests with easy-to-use disposable sensors, allowing untrained personnel to produce accurate results on the first test. Once the sample is collected and inserted into the instrument, the test becomes automated and provides results in less than one minute. ChloroSense then records and stores all results in memory, and this data can easily be reviewed on the monitor’s display or exported to a computer via a waterproof USB port.

ChloroSense tests are performed at a lower cost per test than the traditional DPD method since there are no reagents required and no need to run multiple tests to get the correct range. The instrument’s wide testing ranges, from 0-10 mg/l to 0-100 mg/l, make it ideal for use in boot dips, drip lines, misting lines or wherever chlorination is used in produce harvesting.

Palintest USA manufactures water testing and environmental products for water quality, drinking water and swimming pool testing. For more information call 800-835-9629 or 859-341-7423, email info@palintestusa.com or visit the company’s website at http://www.palintestusa.com.
