Only hexavalent chromium can be detected when the product is used as follows Immediately after opening, this product is ready to consume. The problem is. Your water sample must be prepared in a manner that converts trivalent chromium to hexavalent chromium according to the instructions on the packaging. You'll need to purchase chemicals (oxidizers, I believe) as well as a glassware set for performing As soon as the sample has been prepared following the instructions, the test strips can then be used to determine whether hexavalent chromium is present
Jennifer, I agree. Chromium is reported as a negative result by the test Usually referred to as Hexavalent Chromium 6, it is one of six types of iron.
Chromium 6 can only be detected using strips and water samples if you just want to test for it. The only chemical you need is chromium 6 if you want to convert it to chromate There is no need for this for most people, so don't worry about it.

The bottle of 50 strips cost $12 and was definitely worth it. My bottle is still within the expiration date of another review, but the one from another review claimed the bottle was expired. There is only one improvement they could make leave out Chrome- There is a problem with 3 instructions because some people have obviously been confused by them.
3 is not the correct number. This is a typical way of testing dip sticks quickly. Chrorium 3 can not be tested with only chloroform. Other chemicals are needed.
This substance has a maximum concentration of 5 ppm set by the EPA. I would like to remind my fellow chemists of that.
The three chemicals are all rare only one is a common chemical while the other two can be difficult to locate. My efforts were futile, so I decided to just give The products I am not recommending are not worth the money. MAKE SURE YOU MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION!.
A product with a date of expiration was delivered.
They are chromium-free and I bought them to see what they were like The stick indicated six levels in the water supply, but the reading was not read. It does not appear that there is a dip stick that will show you how much chromium is in the water Water from your tap has a pH of 6. If you get the bottle, it will tell you there are special procedures you must follow in order to get a reading Take a break. The whole thing was a waste of time and.
Upon contacting the company at the number listed on the back of the bottle, the company said that this is a total chromate test strip as well as a chromium test strip, meaning it will calculate the total amount of chromium. Chromate ions are present in industrial waste water in trivalent form [chromium (III) ions] as well as in hexavalent form (chromate and dichromate ions). Using this test, you can determine how much chromium there is in all Among these substances are trivalent chromium (Chromium - Hence, you would need to use additional solutions to find out how much of the total is trivalent chromium, and subtract that value from the total to come up with the subtotal for hexavalent chromium only. Hexavalent chrome is reagent for this test strip. At least that is what I understand about its chemistry. Note that the SCALE on this test strip is in parts per million (mg/L), but health concerns for hexavalent chromium or Cr-ARE not as severe as those for chromium. The tests on this test strip are in the range of PARTS PER BILLION (ug/L), which appears to be a much smaller scale and is way, way lower than what is found here. We think, however, that it was worth it for us just to do a really rough safety check for a relatively low cost.
