Phoenix Systems Brake Fluid Test Strips — 100-Count Tube, Copper Contamination Detection, 60‑Second Results

Phoenix Systems BrakeStrip (3001-B) test strips are a quick, reliable way to determine brake fluid condition and identify copper contamination in DOT 3, 4, and 5.1 systems in one minute.

Brake fluid degrades over time and can introduce corrosion, which increases wear on internal components and raises the risk of expensive repairs. Phoenix Systems BrakeStrip gives technicians and vehicle owners an immediate, evidence-based readout of fluid health so exchanges occur when needed—not too early and not too late. Each tube contains 100 single-use strips designed to detect copper and other contaminants that signal the need for service.

How fast and simple is the BrakeStrip test?

Testing takes about 60 seconds and requires only dipping a strip into the brake fluid reservoir or a sample. The strip changes color to indicate contamination levels so you can make a service decision immediately without lab equipment.

• One-minute results from a single dip.
• Tube holds 100 individually removable strips for repeated use.
• Works with DOT 3, DOT 4 and DOT 5.1 brake fluids commonly used in cars and light trucks.
• No special tools or power; ideal for shop counters and mobile technicians.

What does the test actually detect and why does it matter?

The strip reveals copper contamination and general fluid degradation—both signs that internal corrosion or moisture accumulation may be present. Detecting these issues early helps prioritize a brake fluid exchange before component damage accelerates.

• Copper detection indicates metal wear and potential corrosive conditions inside the system.
• Identifies degraded fluid that has absorbed moisture or lost protective properties.
• Supports preventative maintenance decisions to avoid costly repairs later.

Can BrakeStrip help my service department increase approved brake services?

Yes—clear, visual evidence from a test strip gives service advisors a tangible way to show customers why a brake fluid exchange is recommended. That transparency builds trust and can increase the number of properly justified brake fluid services performed.

• Provides definitive proof to support service recommendations.
• Reduces guesswork for advisors and technicians when assessing fluid condition.
• Helps document service needs for customer records and compliance.

How should I use and store these test strips?

Remove a single strip from the tube, immerse it briefly in a brake fluid sample, wait about a minute, and compare the color change to the included guide. Keep the tube sealed and store in a cool, dry place to preserve shelf life; avoid contaminating remaining strips with dirty hands or liquids.

• Use one strip per test; discard after single use.
• Compare colors to the manufacturer’s chart for action thresholds.
• Store tube upright, sealed, away from heat and moisture.

Who is this for: Phoenix Systems BrakeStrip (3001-B) is designed for automotive repair shops, fleet managers, service advisors, and DIY vehicle owners who want a fast, affordable, and reliable method to check brake fluid condition on-site. It suits any operation that performs routine brake maintenance, inspects used vehicles, or needs clear evidence to justify brake fluid exchanges across DOT 3, 4, and 5.1 systems.
