PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
Kordon's AquaTru Test Kits were designed for accuracy with several important criteria in mind:
1-Dry,stable reagents
2-Dated reagents
3-Accurate, translucent color comparators
4-Comprehensive instructions
5-Measurement ranges that are correct for aquarium use.
|
AquaTru Water Quality Test Kits pioneered the use of dry reagents for use in aquarium water testing. The major advantage of dry reagents is in their shelf life. Dry reagents are more stable than liquid reagents, which means the aquarist can perform tests with the confidence of knowing the results will be as accurate as possible when using a "colorimetric" type test. Kordon also dates their reagents. All manufacturer's reagents, whether dry or liquid, are subject to degradation. Because the reagent chemicals break down over time, it is important to know the age of the reagents and their expected life.
AquaTru's color comparator system has been carefully designed to reflect the needs of the concerned aquarist. The top is flared to make adding reagents easier, the wide base increases stability and a special sliding window helps make color comparisons more accurate. The color strip consists of translucent colors applied to a durable plastic, rather than a printed paper card. The translucent color strip allows light to pass through, providing a much more accurate match when comparing the cube's colors to those produced by the reagents. Reflected colors, such as those produced on a printed comparator do not match well when compared with the translucent colors in a test cube.
The quality of tap water varies widely and aquarium systems are becoming increasingly sophisticated (and expensive). It is increasingly important to monitor water conditions carefully in the aquarium. It is equally important to select only top quality, reliable test equipment to monitor these conditions. It is beyond the scope of most aquarists to analyze the accuracy of a test kit. They must depend on the manufacturer to provide them with accurate, dependable test kits, and a staff available to answer questions and resolve problems. Kordon has taken pride in providing professional quality test kits and test kit consultation... for over 15 years.
REAGENT AND COLOR STANDARD STABILITY
The reagents should be used before the expiration date shown on the package. If the reagents are to be used after the expiration date they should be checked with an accurate standard solution to insure the reliability of the reagents. The reagents should be stored in a cool place. The color comparator strip should not be exposed to strong light sources for an extended length of time to prevent fading of the colors.
