Description
Taylor DPD Reagent 2 – 2 oz Dropper Bottle | R‑0002‑C
The Taylor R‑0002‑C is a 2‑ounce dropper bottle of DPD Reagent 2, used with Taylor test kits to measure free and total chlorine—and compatible with bromine tests.
Key Features:
- Essential second-step reagent in the FAS‑DPD titration method following Reagent 1
- Also used with Reagent 1 for measuring total bromine levels
- Reliable liquid reagent in dropper bottle format for precision dosing
- Approximately 12 mL / 2 oz volume, brown bottle to protect light-sensitive formulation
Technical Specifications:
- Manufacturer: Taylor Technologies
- Part Number / SKU: R‑0002‑C
- Volume: 2 oz (≈60 mL)
- UPC: 840036000090
- Chemical Composition: ~90–99% deionized water; ~0.1–5% N,N‑Diethyl‑p‑phenylenediamine sulfate; remaining trace stabilizers
- pH: ~1.3 (acidic reagent)
- Storage: Keep tightly sealed at 36–85 °F (2–29 °C), away from direct sunlight and humidity
- Shelf Life: Effective up to 12 months under proper storage conditions
- Weight: Approx. 0.01 lb net (bottle weight negligible)
Usage Instructions:
- Add the specified number of drops of Reagent 1 (R‑0001‑A or R‑0001‑C) to the sample until pink.
- Add drops of Reagent 2 until the solution turns clear; the number of drops multiplied or divided per kit instructions yields chlorine or bromine level.
- Follow your Taylor test kit protocol for interpretation of free and total sanitizer levels.
Benefits:
- Accurate and consistent results for free chlorine and bromine measurement
- Ideal for both residential and professional water testing
- Cost-effective replacement compared to bundled reagent kits
- Designed for precision dosing and minimal waste
Pro Tip: Ensure the dropper cap is tightly sealed and store upright. Replace reagent if it is older than one year or if the solution appears cloudy or discolored.
