Salinity test strips measure the chloride ion (Cl-1) present in solution from 0-1,000 ppm Cl. This strip can be used to educate students on the difference between “fresh” and “salt” water. It can also be useful in explaining the concepts of freezing point depression and boiling point elevation. In applications where the salt content is high the sample will require dilution with deionized water before running the test. In these cases, the test result will need to be corrected by using a dilution factor to arrive at the final result.

Product Documentation
Do you have a test strip that measures sodium chloride?
Yes, we call it our Salinity Test Strip. This test strip measures the level of chloride present and can be used as an indirect indicator of sodium when the sodium is present due to sodium chloride salt.
If the sodium is due to NaCl and not from other sources, a ppm level of 500 ppm Cl would be equivalent to a ppm level of about 320ppm sodium based on the differences in molecular weight. A 1000ppm chloride result would therefore be about 640ppm sodium.
