NT LABS Test Ammonia
How to use?
Ensure the test tube is clean.
Take a 5 ml sample of water into the test tube.
Add 5 drops of the reagent Ammonia 1, 5 drops of Ammonia 2 and 5 drops of Ammonia 3.
Replace the test tube cap and shake thoroughly. Wait 10 minutes, then compare the colour of the sample to the colour scale provided. Zero ammonia is represented by a yellow colour. Any hint of green in the sample indicates the presence of ammonia in the water.
This test kit reports concentration in terms of nitrogen (NH3-N) to be compatible with reported safe concentrations as they apply to fish and plants. If you are interested in knowing the ionic concentration of the measured parameter, multiply your result by 1.21 (NH3-N).
NT Labs Test Nitrite (NO2) is an aquarium water testing kit used to measure nitrite (NO₂) levels in freshwater or marine tanks.
How to use?
Ensure the test tube is clean.
Take a 5 ml sample of water into the test tube.
Add 5 drops of the Nitrite reagent.
Replace the test tube cap and shake thoroughly.
Wait 2 minutes, then compare the colour of the sample to the colour scale provided. Zero nitrite is represented by a colourless sample. Any hint of pink in the sample indicates the presence of nitrite in the water. Any colour forming after the two minutes should be ignored.
NT Labs Test Nitrate (NO3) is an aquarium water testing kit used to measure nitrate (NO₃) levels in freshwater or marine tanks.
How to use?
- Ensure the test tube is clean.
- Take a 5 ml sample of water into the test tube.
- Add the recommended number of drops of Nitrate Reagent 1 and shake thoroughly.
- Add the recommended number of drops of Nitrate Reagent 2 and shake again thoroughly.
- Wait the instructed development time, then compare the colour of the sample to the colour scale provided.
- A pale or colourless sample indicates low nitrate levels, while deeper colours indicate higher nitrate concentrations.
- Any colour forming after the recommended waiting time should be ignored.
NT LABS Broad Range Test pH 6-9
How to use?
Ensure the test tube is clean.
Take a 5ml sample of water into the test tube.
Add 5 drops of the pH reagent; replace the test tube cap and shake thoroughly.
Compare the colour of your sample to the colour scale provided.
NT Labs Test Hardness (GH / KH) is an aquarium water testing kit used to measure General Hardness (GH) and Carbonate Hardness (KH) levels in freshwater or marine tanks.
How to use?
- Ensure the test tube is clean.
- Take a 5 ml sample of water into the test tube.
- Add 1 drop of the GH or KH reagent and shake gently.
- Continue adding drops one at a time, shaking after each drop, until the colour changes completely.
- Count the number of drops used before the colour changes.
- The number of drops added equals the GH or KH level in degrees of hardness (dGH / dKH).
- Rinse the test tube thoroughly after use.
NT Labs Test Phosphate (PO4) is an aquarium water testing kit used to measure phosphate (PO₄) levels in freshwater or marine tanks.
How to use?
- Ensure the test tube is clean.
- Take a 5 ml sample of water into the test tube.
- Add the recommended number of drops of the Phosphate reagent.
- Replace the test tube cap and shake thoroughly.
- Wait the instructed development time, then compare the colour of the sample to the colour scale provided.
- Lower phosphate levels are represented by lighter colours, while darker colours indicate higher phosphate concentrations.
- Any colour forming after the recommended waiting time should be ignored.
