MetriCide OPA Plus Solution Test Strips

MetriCide OPA Plus Test Strips help sterile processing, GI labs, dental clinics, and other reprocessing teams verify that ortho-phthalaldehyde solutions remain at or above the minimum recommended concentration of 0.3%. Each single-use strip is dipped before a manual soak or automated endoscope reprocessor cycle, then read at 60 to 90 seconds to confirm the solution is ready for use. The large, easy-to-read pad shifts from blue to purple for a clear result, supporting routine documentation and compliance in busy reprocessing areas.

Use the strips anywhere OPA is in service, including bedside precleaning stations, AER bays, and decontam rooms, to decide when to keep using a bath and when to discard and replace it. Bottles are available in 60-strip and 100-strip counts to match test frequency and inventory needs.
