Chemical Tests

These test kits have set the standard in portable chemical water analysis for years.

Our staff use them extensively when carrying out field based research, site surveys and assisting farmers with their management. In farm situations it is usually not necessary to go to the extremes of using laboratory style equipment for water quality analysis, as such degrees of accuracy are not necessary. More often than not the farmer wants a rough idea of whether his water is okay for his stock or not.

The three kits below contain a range of tests, which will assist fish farmers in testing the key factors in their water quality:

Model FF-1A

Contains manual tests for Alkalinity, Ammonia, Carbon Dioxide, Chloride, Oxygen, Hardness, Nitrite, pH, and temperature using drop count titration. Uses manual titration and colour disc colourimetry.

Model FF-2

Contains all the above tests (with the exception of Nitrite, which is replaced with Nitrate), plus acidity but includes a digital titrator and colour disc colourimetry.

Model FF-4

Contains test for Ammonia, Nitrite, Nitrate and pH using colour cube colourimetry.



Analytical Results

More than 200 single and multi parameter kits to chose from

Upright Reagent Storage

Designed to prevent kit components from shifting and breaking during transportation and use. Case inserts prevent messy spills by keeping reagents stored in an upright position. All inserts are moulded from the highest quality materials and are easy to clean

Rugged, Chemical Resistant Case

Kit cases are moulded from durable polypropylene to stand up to the toughest situations. Some kits even feature a compartmentalised reagent cabinet to keep chemistries neat and organised.

Step-by-Step Instructions

You don't have to be a trained chemist to get professional results with proven methods. Kits are supplied with detailed instructions to guide you step-by-step through each procedure.

Everything You Need for Testing

From flasks to beakers to viewing tubes, everything you need is supplied with the kits. Many components are moulded from durable plastics and are ideal for many different applications.

Pre-measured Reagents Save Time

Most analysts prefer unit-dose chemisteries, conveniently packaged in pillows, cartridges and ampuls to avoid the tedious and time-consuming task of preparing reagents from scratch. Pre-measured reagents streamline water quality testing, improve safety, and ensure accurate results.

Colorimetric Methods

A colorimetric test simply measures the colour that develops when a reagent is added to a sample. The intensity of the concentration of the parameter being tested. Once the sample changes colour, you can visually compare the intensity of the colour against a known standard (using test Strips, Colour Cubes or Colour Discs). For greater accuracy, you can measure the intensity of the sample with a colorimeter or spectrophotometer.

Electrochemical Methods

An electrochemical test confirms the presence or absence of a parameter by measuring the electrical activity of a sample.

Titration Methods

Tests based on titration measure the volume of a reagent of known strength that must be added to a sample to produce precipitation or a change in colour. Basic titration tests are as easy as counting the drops from an eye dropper. A Digital Titrator makes the process much more accurate. Once you've reached the endpoint, the Digital Titrator tells you how much titrant you've dispensed.
