The HI38061 is a chemical test kit that uses the ascorbic acid method to measure phosphate. The HI38061 is supplied complete with all of the reagents and equipment necessary to perform approximately 100 tests.
Complete setup
All required materials are included with the test kit, such as the glass vials, plastic pipette, reagent packets, and Checker® disc.
High resolution
Readings from 0.00 to 1.00 mg/L are determined to 0.02 mg/L resolution.
Readings from 0.0 to 5.0 mg/L are determined to 0.1 mg/L resolution.
Readings from 0 to 50 mg/L are determined to 1 mg/L resolution.
Replacement reagents available
There is no need to buy a new kit when reagents are exhausted. The HI38061-100 can be ordered to replace the reagents supplied with the kit.
Phosphates are particularly important for the growth and development of plant roots, and hence are one of the most common fertilizers used in agriculture. However, high concentrations of phosphates in agricultural runoff can cause environmental pollution, as they are a primary cause of eutrophication. Local laws govern the use of phosphates and the discharge levels into streams.
