What is the recommended duration for testing with Q-San Test Strips?

The recommended duration for testing with Q-San Test Strips is 10 seconds. This timing is critical because it ensures accurate readings by allowing enough contact time for the strips to adequately react with the sample being tested. If the test strip is removed too quickly, it may not fully develop, leading to an inaccurate assessment of the chemical concentration or quality being measured. Conversely, waiting too long could also result in a misreading if external factors influence the test strip after the appropriate reaction time. Hence, following the 10-second guideline ensures that the results are both reliable and precise, providing users with accurate data for whatever application they are using the strips for.
