Title: Fluoride Detector
Post by: kyle32007 on September 18, 2014, 01:27:18 PM

Have fluoride reagent drops been made that can be dropped into water and change color in the presence of fluoride?

What you're looking for is a "spot test" for fluoride.  You can Google for those, I found a few.   Its some work to find a quick, easy read reagent that doesn't react with other things, but it has been done.

Thanks for the reply.  Could you post a couple links to purchase?  I tried finding some but had a hard time. @arkcon Thanks :)
