MERCK Nickel Test (Nickel Chemical Test Strips)

The MQuant® Nickel test is suitable for controlling waste water and galvanizing solutions, catalysts and for use in the glass and ceramics industry. It is also a very simple method of identifying metalic nickel in alloys or nickel plating. Nickel(II) ions react with dimethylglyoxime to form a red complex. The nickel concentration 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 nickel concentration and a possible dilution factor prior to using a quantitative method such as a Spectroquant® test.
