Test Strips

Test Strips provide a fast, simple and convenient method for monitoring a wide range of water quality parameters without the need for liquid reagents, tablets or specialist equipment. Designed for rapid on-site testing, they deliver reliable semi-quantitative results in just seconds, making them an ideal choice for routine monitoring where speed and ease of use are essential.

Using a simple dip-and-compare method, test strips enable users to quickly determine the concentration of specific water quality parameters by comparing the developed colour against the supplied colour chart. Test papers are also available for the qualitative detection of selected ions and chemical substances, providing a clear indication of whether a parameter is present above a defined detection limit.


Compact, lightweight and hazard-free, Lovibond® Test Strips are ideal for field testing, routine inspections and quick process checks. With no mixing of reagents or preparation required, they offer a clean, cost-effective testing solution for operators working in laboratories, industrial facilities or out in the field. Their long shelf life and portable packaging mean they are always ready for use whenever and wherever testing is required.


Each pack is supplied in a durable plastic container containing 25, 50 or 100 test strips, depending on the parameter being measured. Results are typically reported in mg/L (ppm), allowing for straightforward interpretation and comparison across a wide range of water testing applications.
