ARSENIC TEST KITS OVERVIEW
Minimize the hazards normally associated with arsenic testing using the
new Arsenic Test Kit from Hach. It's an easy-to-use, low-cost method for
measuring arsenic levels in drinking water (down to 10 ppb) that
minimizes your exposure to arsine gas. The kit is compact and portable,
perfect for determining arsenic concentrations for monitoring or
treatment purposes safely, quickly and easily.
The Hach method for arsenic uses a series of powdered reagents and
Arsenic Test Strips. Each kit contains all the reagents and apparatus
you need for 100 tests, and is specially designed to minimize your
exposure to hazardous reagents and arsine gas.
Minimizes reagent hazard: The Hach Arsenic Test Kit uses powdered
reagents for safety. Four of the five reagents used in this test are
packaged in Hach PermaChem Powder Pillows™ single use, pre-measured
reagent packets that mean minimal handling and greater reagent
stability. The formulation of the reagents used in this test also
eliminates any interference from sulfide in the water sample.
Eliminates exposure to arsine gas: Hach specially designed the cap used
in the test kit to position the test strip so that all of the arsine gas
generated during the reaction is focused directly onto the reactive pad
on the test strip. This special feature provides enhanced sensitivity
for arsenic and virtually eliminates your exposure to arsine gas. In
just 30 minutes, a color develops on the Arsenic Test Strip based on how
much arsine gas was generated in the reaction. The result is then
determined by comparing the test strip to a color chart. The
semi-quantitative "steps" of this test are 0, 10, 30, 50, 70, 300 and
500 ppb, providing an overall range of 0-500 ppb. The test kit comes
with two reaction vessels with caps so two tests can be run
simultaneously.
