Abstract
A composition, method, and test device for quantitatively determining the oxidant concentration of a test sample are disclosed. The test device includes a test pad having a suitable carrier matrix incorporating an indicator reagent composition capable of interacting with an oxidant to produce a detectable and measurable response for oxidant over a wide concentration range of oxidant. An indicator reagent composition contains: (a) an iodide salt, (b) a buffer, and (c) a water-soluble polymer, preferably a cellulose-based polymer. An indicator reagent composition is incorporated into a carrier matrix, like filter paper, to provide a test pad useful in a dry phase oxidant assay of a test sample, especially for test samples containing a high concentration of oxidant, like chlorine or a peroxide.
