Ascorbic Acid Test strips (catalogue No. 110023) are ready-to-use semi-quantitative colorimetric strips designed for determining ascorbic acid concentration in the range of 50–2000 mg/L. These strips are suitable for beverage and food testing to monitor natural vitamin C content or added ascorbic acid as preservative/antioxidant. Visual colour change is compared to a reference scale or analysed using the MQuant StripScan App.
Ascorbic Acid Test strips, catalogue No. 110023 , are part of the MQuant product line by Merck, intended for rapid semi-quantitative measurement of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) in food, beverage and other aqueous samples. The method uses a colorimetric reaction on the test strip that changes colour in response to ascorbic acid concentration. The resulting colour can be visually compared with the printed scale or interpreted using the MQuant StripScan mobile app for enhanced digital evaluation.
