Description
The HI-782 Marine Nitrate High Range Colorimeter is specifically designed to quickly and accurately determine high levels of nitrate for saltwater aquariums and marine applications. With a digital read out, there is no more struggling to determine colours visually.
Each HI-782 is delivered in a case with custom insert and supplied with:
Nitrate is the final step in the Nitrogen cycle. Excessive amounts of nitrates in saltwater aquariums facilitate the growth of undesirable organisms such as algae and dinoflagellates.
The HI-782 Nitrate Checker HC uses the Zinc Reduction method, a no filter process, to measure the concentration of nitrate colorimetrically, ultimately reducing the time of each test and leaving no additional waste.
With higher range measurements, such as the HI-782 which ranges from 0.0 up to 75.0 ppm (as NO3–), there is also no dilution procedure needed.
