LaMotte AG-104 Salt Water Aquarium - Manual (Page 2)

This booklet provides step-by-step instructions for each of the tests
provided in the AG-104 test kit. Please refer to the separate sheets for
proper use of the Direct Reading Titrator and Axial Reader
Comparator where noted.
Use of the pH Oc tet Com para tor
The Octet Comparator contains eight permanent
color standards. A test sample is inserted into the
openings in the top of the comparator. The sample
can then be compared to four color standards at
once, and the value read off the comparator. For
optimum color comparison, the comparator should
be positioned between the operator and a light
source, so that the light enters through the special
light-diffusing screen in the back of the comparator.
Avoid viewing the comparator against direct
sunlight or an irregularly lighted background.
Use of the Octa-Slide Viewer
The Octa-Slide Viewer should be held so
non-direct light enters through the back of the
comparator. With sample tube inserted at top,
slide the Octa-Slide bar thorough the viewer
and march with color standard.
