TRITON ICP-OES LABORATORY WATER ANALYSIS

COMPREHENSIVE TESTING FOR MACRO AND TRACE ELEMENTS

Next level macro and trace element analysis, recommendations and supplementation.

What is ICP-OES?

Known as Inductively Coupled Plasma – Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) is a sophisticated analytical technique for measuring a broad spectrum of macro and trace elements. It does this by splitting your water sample into component atoms suspended in a fiery 10 000°C plasma. ICP-OES delivers a detailed snapshot of macro and trace elements from a single sample preparation* with each element measured thousands of times in a pass.

EACH TRITON LAB ICP WATER ANALYSIS IS AN ACCURATE SNAPSHOT OF THE WATER QUALITY IN YOUR SYSTEM

TRITON analyses a comprehensive suite of macro and trace elements crucial to healthy function of your reef system:
Sodium (Na), Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), Potassium (K), Strontium (Sr), Boron (B), Bromine (Br), Sulphur (S), Lithium (Li), Beryllium (Be), Barium (Ba), Titanium (Ti), Vanadium (V), Chromium (Cr), Manganese (Mn), Iron (Fe), Cobalt (Co), Nickel (Ni), Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn), Aluminium (Al), Silicon (Si), Arsenic (As), Antimony (Sb), Tin (Sn), Cadmium (Cd), Selenium (Se), Molybdenum (Mo), Mercury (Hg), Phosphorus (P), Phosphate (PO4), Lead (Pb), Iodine (I), Tungsten (W), Scandium (Sc), Lanthanum (La).

Test Kits

Pure Aquatics stocks a range of API test kits for water quality monitoring.

AMMONIA NH3 NH4 TEST STRIPS/ KIT

Ammonia can come from several sources, including fish waste, uneaten food and other decaying matter. Ammonia is very harmful to fish. It will damage gills and prevent fish from carrying on normal breathing. Low levels of Ammonia will stress fish; high levels will cause death.

HIGH RANGE PH TEST KIT

Fish require specific pH levels to thrive. However, pH in can fluctuate due to fish waste, addition of tap water and the build-up of natural acids. Use this kit to measure pH to maintain healthy water parameters.

Test kit contains: Liquid Dropper with child resistant safety cap, easy-to-read instructions with information on how to test and how to correct unsafe water conditions, 2 colour charts and glass test tube with snap-tight cap.

PH TEST KIT

Many fish species require a specific pH level to thrive. However, pH can fluctuate due to fish waste, addition of tap water and the build up of natural acids. Use this test kit to easily and accurately measure the pH level and maintain a constant pH level.

5-IN-1 TEST KIT

This kit measures 5 of the most important water chemistry elements: pH, Nitrite, Nitrate, Carbonate and General Hardness. Improper levels of which can lead to illness and death.

When to use: Regular testing of pH, Nitrite, Nitrate, Carbonate and General Hardness is an essential part of routine maintenance.

NITRITE NO2 TEST KITS

Nitrite is produced by fish waste and uneaten fish food. Low levels of nitrite inhibit respiration and suppress the immune system; high levels can cause suffocation and fish death.

This kit contains: Liquid dropper bottle with child-resistant safety cap, easy-to-read instructions with information on how to test and how to correct unsafe water conditions, colour chart and glass test tube with a snap-tight cap.

KH (CARBONATE HARDNESS) TEST KIT

KH (Carbonate Hardness) helps stabilise pH. Water with low KH is susceptible to rapid pH shifts, greatly stressing fish and increasing risk of disease. In marine applications a proper KH level is essential for healthy coral growth. Use this test kit to accurately measure KH.

This kit contains: liquid dropper bottle with child-resistant safety cap, easy-to-read instructions with information on how to test and correct unsafe water conditions, and glass test tube with snap-tight lid.

JBL PRO AQUATEST COMPLETE TEST KITS
