Iodine Test Kit
ISTR3832R1 06/00 PRINTED IN ITALY
Iodine may be used as a disinfectant in drinking and swim-
ming pool waters. Unlike chlorinated pools, water treated
with iodine decrease eye irritation among swimmers and
provides a disinfectant more stable to adverse conditions.
However, iodine levels in the water must be frequently
checked to maximize its given purpose.
The Hanna Iodine Test Kit employs a color cube to deter-
mine the iodine content in water. The kit is compact and is

The iodine is measured by a colorimetric method. The
sample is initially treated with a phosphate buffer to a pH
of approximately 6.3. The addition of DPD (N,N-diethyl-p-
phenylenediamine) is immediately oxidized by iodine
producing a reddish color. The color intensity of the solution
determines the iodine concentration.
