How do you test if H2O2 is still "fresh"?

Post by Labtechie70 »

Hi Guys,

I have done a search on the forum, but there isn't a mention of how one can test if a peroxide solution
is still effective.

Does anyone have a quick and easy test for this? Typically on 3% and 6% solutions.
Thanks!

Regards
