Eco-explorer field case

The kit runs about 500 colorimetric tests in total, measuring nitrites, nitrates, phosphates, ammonia, iron ions, hardness and pH in water, and the acidity of soil.

 

The kit contains:

 - Detailed instructions (9 A4 pages) covering not only the method but a set of practical notes that head off the mistakes commonly made in water chemistry and soil pH work — cleanliness, temperature and timing requirements, and the other parameters that decide how precise the result is.

- Notebook

- Hellige reagent

- 5 ml syringe

- 10 ml syringe

- Blotting papers

- 5x magnifier

- Round-bottomed test tube

- Plastic test-tube rack

- Spoon for taking soil samples

- Porcelain plate for the Hellige acidity test

- Three spoons for powdered reagents

- Three flat-bottomed analytical tubes with stoppers

- Laminated colour charts for reading the results.

- Fifteen plastic bottles of standardised indicator solutions

- A mesh for removing debris from the water sampling point
