| Ammonia is the most lethal form of inorganic nitrogen produced in aquarium water.
The major source of ammonia in a well run aquarium, is from solid waste
of fish and invertebrates, uneaten food, decaiyng leaves of plants.
Nature comes to our rescue as there are specialized bacteria
(Nitrosomonas species) that eat ammonia , and strip away the hydrogen
atoms. By the way, this bacterial population may be affected by many
negative biochemical events.
In an established aquarium Ammonia
should be zero, for these reason, the periodical analytical valuation
of ammonia in the aquarium water should be considered by the serious
aquarium enthusiast.
ELOS AquaTest NH4, as well as
all the other colorimetric test kitof this line, grants an high
precision thanks to several procedureslike the use of RealColor
technology, an accurate system to calibrate the colours chart compared
to the reagents; the validation of its quality, thrugh NIST (National Institute of Standard and Technology) certified samples, in order to grant accuracy and constant results; the carefull stock management to supply to our customers ONLY the most actual and fresh production batch. Thanks to the use of Lab Quality reagents,
our NH4 test, allows the determination of the Ammonia down to a level
of only 0,05 mg/lt, really alerting on Ammonia presence, thus
preventing delicate situation that may occour specially in reef
aquarium. HIGHLIGHTS:
- Easy reading: RealColor technology.
- High precision: thanks to the use of calibrated dropper
- NIST validation: each batch is validated using NIST (National Institute of Standard and Technology) samples
- "Safe reagents": reagents and testing procedures are based on Low Risk Reagents. None of our test kit are based on Toxic Reagents.
