TEST METHODS
This tes kit uses two basic analytical procedures common to field test kits. A
brief explanation of each follows:
THE COLORIMETRIC PRO CE DURE
In a visual colorimetric test, a sample is treated with reagent(s) to produce a
color reaction generally in proportion to the amount of the test factor present.
The sample color is then compared against color standards representing
known concentrations of the factor being tested over a specific range. The
all-plastic Octa-Slide Viewer allows for a unique one-on-one color matching
system.
Di lu tions
The calibrated test tubes (0106) included in this kit may be used to perform
dilutions for the Ammonia Nitrogen and Nitrite Nitrogen tests. Distilled or
deionized water is needed to perform dilutions.
