Salt Testing Kit
- Tests iodine levels ranging from 0 to 30 ppm.
- The compact kit includes 2-3 reagent bottles (10 ml each), a colour chart, a micro spoon, and a plastic sheet.
- One kit can test up to 100 samples.
- It is user-friendly and provides instant results.
The PSI Salt Testing Kit measures iodine levels in salt precisely, following WHO standards. It is easy to use and provides quick results to identify salt with no, low, or appropriate iodine levels. The compact kit includes reagents, a colour chart, a spoon, and a plastic sheet and can test up to 100 samples.
Uses:
- Measures iodine content in salt at household, retail, and manufacturing levels.
- Differentiates between salt with no, low, or suitable levels of iodine.
- It helps promote iodine-rich diets to prevent iodine deficiency disorders.

A salt testing kit is used to quickly check iodine levels in iodized salt. By adding a small amount of reagent solution to the salt sample, the kit produces a color change that indicates whether the salt contains no iodine, low iodine levels, or adequate iodine content.
To test iodine levels, a drop of test solution is placed on a small amount of salt. If iodine is present, the salt changes color—from light blue to dark violet—depending on the iodine concentration. The color is then compared with a chart to determine the iodine level.
Checking iodine levels helps identify low iodine levels in salt, which can lead to iodine deficiency. Adequate iodine intake is essential for proper thyroid function, brain development, and overall health, and iodized salt is one of the most common sources of iodine in the diet.
A salt testing kit helps perform a quick iodine deficiency test indirectly by determining whether the salt being consumed contains enough iodine. If the salt shows little or no iodine content, it may indicate a risk of iodine deficiency due to insufficient iodine intake.
A salt testing kit can be used by households, health workers, retailers, food manufacturers, and public health programs to check iodine levels in salt. The kits are designed to be simple, portable, and capable of testing many samples quickly.
