DPD Glycine

DPD Glycine products are used in water testing to ensure accurate chlorine measurements, especially when combined chlorine or other interfering substances are present. Glycine helps neutralize these interferences, allowing for a more precise reading of free chlorine levels. These products are essential for reliable water testing in pools, drinking water systems, and industrial applications, helping you maintain safe and properly balanced water quality with confidence.

Glycine is used in pool water testing to neutralize free chlorine so you can accurately measure other sanitizers or specific chlorine fractions

When is it used?

• Testing for Bromine: When a pool uses bromine instead of chlorine (or has both present), standard DPD reagents react with both chemicals. Adding glycine first masks the chlorine so the test measures only the bromine level.
• Testing for Ozone: Glycine is added to water samples to eliminate chlorine interference when testing for ozone levels.
• Measuring Combined Chlorine: It neutralizes free chlorine in specialized DPD procedures to help differentiate and measure combined chloramines accurately.
