The Palintest Iron LR test is based on a single tablet reagent containing 3-(2-Pyridyl)-5, 6-bis(4-phenyl-sulphonic acid)-1, 2, 4-triazine (PPST) formulated with a decomplexing/reducing agent in an acid buffer. The test is simply carried out by adding a tablet to a sample of the water under test. The decomplexing/reducing agent breaks down weakly complexed forms of iron, and converts the iron from the ferric to the ferrous form. The ferrous iron reacts with PPST to form a pink coloration. The intensity of the colour produced is proportional to the iron concentration and is measured using a Palintest Photometer.
