The pH 1-14 test strip (single pad) is a wide-range strip measuring in steps of 1.0 pH units, and give results in just seconds. Use the wide range pH 1-14 test strip (acid-base) when you have a diverse range of materials, and you are unsure what end of the spectrum you will land on. This strip has one pad for ease of reading and can be used in many different circumstances, including education, industry, cosmetics, water testing and more.

pH 1-14 Test Strip (Single Pad)
- Remove one pH 1-14 test strip by holding the test strip between your index and thumb finger. Do not touch the test pad with your fingers.
- Immerse the test strip about 1/2″ into the solution to be tested for 1-2 seconds.
- Remove the test strip, and shake off any excess liquid.
- Compare the test pad to the color chart within 30 seconds. Do not allow the test strip to dry before reading against the color chart.

Product Documentation
Does temperature affect the pH test strips?
Currently, our pH test strips are designed for testing buffered solutions, and the calibrations (color charts) are made on buffers against a pH-meter measurement. For non- or low-buffered solutions, these strips are not suitable. For this purpose, there are special pH test pads designed for low-ionic and low-buffered waters, such as water in aquariums or pools. Please see our Aquarium and Pool test strips.

I'm testing the pH of RO, distilled, and tap water, but the test strips aren't changing color. Are the strips not working or is my water off the charts?
When testing RO, distilled, or tap water, the strips may not behave like you would expect. The colors on the chart were developed for these strips using buffer solutions. The indicators used with the strips require that the waters being tested have some buffering capacity. RO and distilled waters have little or no buffering capacity, and the test strips will not work in these waters. If the tap water has a very low buffer capacity (low hardness, low alkalinity, etc.) the color can take much longer than the recommended 1-2 second immersion and 10-15 development time.
