Test Methods:

LaMotte individual water test kits come supplied with pre-calibrated test tubes and labware to give fast, accurate results. Reagents, labware, and step-by-step instructions are furnished in compact carrying cases. Economical Reagent Refill Packages are available for all kits listed.

Titrimetric

The Direct Reading Titrator is a 1.0 mL microburet calibrated to allow direct reading of the test result. Each Titrator has a specific range, but may be refilled to test higher concentrations.

Dropper Pipet

The drop count test uses a pipet to provide fast, reliable measurements in the field. The number of drops used to obtain a color change is multiplied by a given factor to produce the test result.

Dropper Bottle

The dropper bottle test uses bottle tips which deliver a consistent standard drop size to add titrant to the sample. As with the drop count test, the number of drops used to complete the reaction is multiplied by a given equivalence factor to determine the concentration. Many dropper bottle tests use different sample sizes for different equivalences.

Colorimetric

Octa-Slide Comparators -

Feature an all plastic comparator system within a bar which slides through a special viewer. Provides a one-on-one color matching system.

Octet Comparator

The Octet Comparator contains eight color standards with built-in filters which eliminate optical distortion. The color standards are arranged so that the sample can be compared to four standards at once.

There are two accessories which may be used with an Octet Comparator. The Bi-Color Reader (Code 2150) neutralizes sample color and/or turbidity to give more accurate readings.

Electronic Colorimeters

Help eliminate visual inconsistencies. A light source passes through a sample and is measured by a photodetector. Results are translated to a digital readout in ppm.
