Aquaponics is growing rapidly as a hobby and as an industry as the farm-to-table trend continues to spread. Designed for small to midsize systems, this test kit monitors basic water quality for both the aquaculture and hydroponics segments of your system. A detailed, diagrammed instruction manual is provided along with a quick reference lid instruction. Reagents, labware and accessories are mounted in a foam-lined carrying case. Kit is complete with labware, accessories, and reagents to perform approximately 50 repetitions per test factor. Test chemistries and comparators are compatible with fresh, brackish, or salt water systems.
LaMotte Company now offers an affordable, safe, and reliable screening test to identify lead in drinking water. Lead is still found in old pipes, solder and service lines. Corrosive water can leach lead into water supplies.
In only 8 minutes the analyst can detect lead levels above 5 ppb. Simply immerse a strip in a water sample and read after a 8 minute waiting period.
This multi-test package is designed for the professional monitoring multiple sites. The LaMotte Lead in Water Kit includes 10 test packs with one diagrammed instruction.
In this Ammonia Nitrogen test kit, salicylate reacts to form a blue color and levels are determined using the Octa-Slide 2 Comparator. Range and sensitivity is 0.0 – 2.0 ppm NH3-N. Suitable for use in fresh, brackish and salt water.
Plant tissue testing provides essential information concerning plant use of nutrients vital to their growth. These simplified field tests for green plant tissue indicate whether growing plants are receiving adequate amounts of available nutrients from the soil. All tests give qualitative results for the specific nutrients. By comparing test results from healthy and problem plants, it is possible to pinpoint deficiencies or excessive nutrient conditions.
A complete kit for determining nitrates, phosphorus and potassium in plant tissue. Diced green plant tissue is saturated in a Universal Extracting Solution to prepare a single liquid extract for use with all three tests. Qualitative results given as abundant, adequate, deficient only. Reagents for 50 tests per factor.
This copper test kit tests for copper using the LRC Comparator. Range and sensitivity is 0, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.30, 0.40, 0.50 ppm Cu.
This kit tests for Sulfate using the Octa-Slide 2 Comparator. Range and sensitivity is 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 160, 200 ppm SO42-. Barium forms a precipitate with sulfate. The turbidity formed is measured using comparator standards or a meter.
MacroLens™ with 4.5X magnification fits over the entire petri dish. 4″ diameter. Available as single or in a convenient 10 pack (Order Code: 5508-10 – $177.00).
Minute amount of color permits immediate visual distinction of different buffer values.
This Chlorine test kit measures free, total & combined Chlorine using Chlorine DPD tablets and the Octa-Slide 2 Comparator. Range/sensitivity is 0.2 – 3.0 ppm Cl.
The overall texture of a soil affects growth in the root zone, which determines the above-ground growth production, and is determined by the fractions of sand, silt, and clay present. Includes A Study of Soil Science handbook now available as a download.
