Description
Product Overview
The Hach DPD Free Chlorine Reagent Powder Pillows are engineered to deliver dependable chlorine measurements across a broad concentration spectrum of 0.02 to 2.00 mg/L Cl₂. Each pillow contains a precisely measured 10 mL dose of high‑purity reagent, eliminating the need for manual weighing or solution preparation. Packaged in a compact 4.65 × 4.65 × 0.79‑inch container, the 100‑pillows set occupies minimal laboratory space while providing a full year’s supply for routine monitoring programs. The reagent complies with the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) Method 8021, guaranteeing that results meet regulatory standards for both drinking water and wastewater analysis. Compatibility with Hach colorimeters and spectrophotometers ensures seamless integration into existing workflows, reducing instrument downtime and simplifying data acquisition.
Usage
These powder pillows are ideal for laboratories, municipal water treatment facilities, and field technicians who require quick, accurate chlorine testing. To use, simply add a single pillow to a 10 mL sample of water, stir gently, and insert the cuvette into a Hach colorimeter. The reagent reacts with free chlorine to produce a stable pink color that the instrument quantifies within seconds. The method is suitable for a variety of water sources, including groundwater, surface water, and finished drinking water, as well as effluent streams from wastewater treatment plants. Because the pillows are pre‑measured, they reduce user error and improve repeatability, making them perfect for high‑throughput monitoring programs, compliance audits, and research applications.
