A new portable chlorine measurement system, Chlorosense, has been released onto the market by Palintest Ltd.
The portable device uses a disposable electrode to test a sample of water, making the process much quicker, easier and less prone to inaccuracy than any other method.
These features make the technology ideal for chlorine testing in the production and post-harvest handling of fresh fruit and vegetables.
Free and total chlorine concentrations are measured in under a minute and then stored in the Chlorosense's memory along with the time, date, and temperature of the water sample.
The process is simple, and instructions and results are given by the LCD display built into the waterproof unit. Essentially the water sample is collected in a small container, a fresh electrode sensor is inserted, and then the lid is closed to start the test.
Stored results can be reviewed on-site, or easily exported onto a PC via a waterproof USB port.
The Chlorosense test can automatically test concentration ranges from 0-100 milligrams per litre meaning it can be used at any stage of produce harvesting where chlorination is introduced.
Palintest is a leading manufacturer in water testing and environmental products for water quality, drinking water, and swimming pool testing.
