The VerraGlo Peroxide Sensor utilizes novel molecular light-emitting diode (mLED) technology that can measuring the hydroperoxide contents in petrochemicals as peroxide number (mg/Kg).    An alternate format of this test can be used to measure the Peroxide Value in edible oils (milliequivlants/Kg).

The novel VerraGlo Peroxide Sensor exhibits peroxidase-like activity, and the flow of electrons through the mLED sensor produces long-lasting chemically-stimulated luminescence intensities proportional to the peroxide levels in samples. Luminescence intensities are determined using a commercially available Charm Sciences Novalum II luminometer.

Advantage of the VerraGlo™ Peroxide Sensor over other Methods:

• Can be conducted in the field with 10 drops of sample (ca. 600 uL) with results in about 5 min.

• Does not use or generate toxic solvents that are expensive to purchase, must be used under a laboratory fume-hood, and that have to be disposed of as hazardous waste

• The method requires no laboratory glassware, no solvents and no cleanup;  the sample vial is disposable

• Improved sensitivity, precision and readability in the low PN range
