What is the PH testing range for these strips? Need to be able to test 5.5 - 6.5 PH range. Will these work

No: range starts at 6.2-6.5. Get a ph meter, I did and works great. About $20 bucks on Amazon

I don't think so, the PH range on these strips is 6.2 to 8.4. These strips are very good but not for the PH range you're looking for.

I use Bayer's 7080G and 7099C test strips. Never had a problem with those. I don't know if that helps you out. If you really want to make sure call Bayer, they well help. My Meter is a 7184A. Just buy 50, then you won't get burned, if they don't work.

Meter is for dissolved solids, salts & temperature. Suggest looking for pHydrion (brand) test strips, which come in broad (pH 0 - 14) or narrower bands. Easy to use. Tear-off paper roll cheaper if just general pH is needed (like a fish tank).

I dont know about that but if you use them in one touch the reading is 34 points higher than if you use your regular brand of test strips

I just read the entire label on the bottle, it does not say anything about ph balance 3.5 so I really don't have the answer you need.

from what I have heard they will probably work but may not have exact reading due to coding of strips. Go into internet and asks the question and you will find a bunch of reviews and answers

Yes it is possible for pH to go above 14. It iis also possible to have the pH go below zero into the negative. Most chemicals will fall into the 1-14 range but there have very potent acids and bases that will exceed that generic range.

A standard litmus kit cannot accurately test the pH of water due to the chemical traces on the strip and the reaction process..... Seriously? Those chemical traces and the reaction process are EXACTLY how pH is determined. This is like saying a speedometer can not be used to measure speed because it measures distance traveled over time...... /smh

Hi Carolyn. It appears that they may not be compatible. Here is a link from Bayer: http://www.bayercontour.com/Blood-Glucose-Monitoring/Test-Strip-Compatibility.

Most pens calibrate at 7.0, check your pH meter's instructions for further calibration information

If test strips are not exposed to extreme temperatures (greater than 100F. or 38 C.) they should be good for long after the expiration date. I have used strips several years out of date with no problems, but remember accuracy even with brand new strips is +/- 20%!

The instructions should be on the backs of each packet. It says "dip strip into urine. Take out after 3 seconds and lay the strip flat. Read results in 5 minutes." Don't dip strip past the max line and test line should be about the same darkness or darker as the control line to be counted as positive. These strips are working just fine for me and will order again. I'm wondering which ones you got if they aren't individually wrapped with instructions.

Your best bet would be to contact the reagent supplier and try to acquire the MSDS for each chemical. If they are the same, they will work. This is a great test kit. It takes me about 5 minutes to run a detailed water test, eliminates the guess work that comes with using strips.

No I don't believe that they will work. After googling and looking at the strips that you use I am almost sure.

I looked up the MSDS and it has "not available" on the Ph data line. This said, its unlikely you'll get an answer to your question even if you called the manufacturer. I've included a link to mfg MSDS: http://www.medline.com/product/See-Clear-Lens-Cleaning-Wipes/Cleaning-Supplies/Z05-PF11518

Donna, no, I do NOT believe that these strips would work. According to the US Food and Drug Administration, the pH of orange juice ranges from 3.3 to 4.2, and these strips do not measure below 5.5. However, there are sellers on Amazon who sell "full-range" pH tape (range 0 - 13) and also I just noticed a tape ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B005OD7AEM/ref=sr_1_9_olp?ie=UTF8&qid;=1414598453&sr;=8-9&keywords;=ph+paper&condition;=new ) that measures from 0 to 6, which looks like it would be PERFECT for orange juice.

Yes, these are strips that helps show your ph balance is acidic or alkaline. The healthy range needs to be in the 7.0-7.05. You can use saliva or urine on these. Urine is the most accurate but test the urine in the morning on the second time around because the first time you go to the bathroom the urine is too acidic to test the reason is because the urine sits in the body to long during the night. If you decide to test the urine just use a jar it makes the testing easier. There are several places to get alkaline supplements at Health Food Stores or on line. You can try this also but the taste is something to get use too but it works and is cheap is to take 1 teaspoon of baking soda per 1 teaspoon of black strap molasses this will help bring up the ph balance and if you need to double the recipe you can or take the drink couple times a day until you are where you want to be at. If you decide to go the baking soda route you need to put 1 cup of water on a stove until a little warm and then put the baking soda in and stir until the water is clear. Take the water off the stove stir in the molasses. Taste better when the drink is warm and comfortable to drink. You need to test your ph everyday because one day you maybe alkaline and the next day you could be acidic by eating something acid that can effect you ph and lower your ph in the 6s. Nothing can survive in an alkaline body that ranges in the 7.0 - 8.0 range. How to eat an alkaline diet you can get books or info on line if you have not done so already that tells you what foods are acidic or alkaline and how to figure what to eat with what to make sure you eat an alkaline meal. You can eat acidic food but you need to eat something alkaline with it to off set the acid to bring up the blood to alkaline level. It's not hard to do once you get the hang of it.
