Medline OPA Disinfectant Test Strips - Orthophthalaldehyde Concentration Testing (100 Strips/Bottle)

Clinical-Grade OPA Concentration Verification

Medline OPA Disinfectant Test Strips are precision-engineered diagnostic tools designed to verify that orthophthalaldehyde (OPA) concentrations in high-level disinfectant solutions remain at or above the Minimum Effective Concentration (MEC) of 0.3%. These test strips provide healthcare facilities with rapid, reliable quality assurance for Cidex OPA and comparable orthophthalaldehyde-based disinfection systems used in endoscope reprocessing and surgical instrument sterilization protocols.
