Excessive absorption of iron by the human body can have an impact on the blood and, in severe cases, damage various organs. So many water quality standards, such as drinking water, surface water, groundwater, electroplating discharge, etc., have imposed restrictions on the content of iron. Detecting iron in water is of great significance for environmental protection and human health.

To eliminate the tedious operation of preparing reagents and testing processes for users, and improve detection efficiency, a method based on ortho phenanthroline spectrophotometry has been developedTotal Iron Reagent - High Range Total Iron Water Quality Testing ReagentThis reagent has the advantages of simple and fast operation, accurate testing, and low cost, which can meet the requirements of batch, rapid, and accurate determination of various water quality.

Total Iron Reagent - High Range Total Iron Water Quality Testing ReagentConvert all soluble iron and most insoluble iron (such as rust) in the sample into soluble ferrous ions. The ferrous ions react with the phenanthroline indicator in the reagent to make the solution orange. Within a certain concentration range, the color intensity is directly proportional to the iron content. At a specific wavelength, the total iron content in the water sample can be obtained by measuring the absorbance value of the colorimetric solution.
