Hanna HI38067-100 Silica HR Heteropoly Blue method

Hanna HI38067-100 Silica Reagents – Heteropoly Blue Method (100 Tests)

The Hanna HI38067-100 Silica HR Heteropoly Blue method reagent kit enables accurate measurement of silica (SiO₂) in water samples using the heteropoly blue colorimetric method. Designed as a replacement reagent pack this set contains enough reagents for 100 tests. Because the test is visual and requires no instrumentation, it’s ideal for field testing, industrial water control, and environmental analysis.

Key Features

• Wide Range Measurement Capability: This reagent set supports two testing ranges—0 to 40 mg/L and 0 to 800 mg/L of silica (SiO₂)—making it suitable for both low- and high-concentration applications.

• Reliable Heteropoly Blue Method: When users add the acidified molybdate reagents to a sample, they initiate a reaction with the silica content that produces a blue-colored complex. The deeper the color, the higher the silica concentration.

• Visual Accuracy with Checker Disc: To determine concentration, users compare the sample color directly with a calibrated Checker Disc, enabling precise, side-by-side visual readings.

• Pre-Measured Reagents for Convenience: Each packet comes pre-dosed, which speeds up preparation and minimizes user error.

• High-Purity Chemical Composition: Hanna formulates the reagents using only laboratory-grade chemicals to ensure consistency and reliability.

• Full Traceability: Every packet is labeled with a lot number and expiration date, helping users maintain proper records for audits and quality assurance.
