Hanna HI3826-025 Ammonia Test Kit for Seawater

The Hanna HI3826-025 Ammonia sea water  test kit provides a fast and reliable method for measuring ammonia (NH₃-N) in seawater. Since accurate ammonia monitoring is essential in marine environments, this kit is especially useful in applications such as aquaculture, oceanographic research, and environmental testing. It uses the Nessler colorimetric method, allowing users to easily identify ammonia levels through a clear visual color change.

Features

• Colorimetric Detection Designed for Seawater
  This kit uses the Nessler method, which generates a distinct color change directly proportional to ammonia concentration. As a result, users can interpret the readings visually, without the need for instrumentation.

• Formulated for High-Salinity Environments
  Unlike freshwater kits, this version is specially designed for reliable measurements in marine water conditions, where salinity could otherwise affect test accuracy.

• Precise Measurement at Low Concentrations
  The test provides results within a range of 0.0 to 2.5 mg/L, with a smallest increment of 0.5 mg/L. Therefore, it is well-suited for detecting subtle changes in ammonia levels, even in sensitive marine habitats.

• Convenient and Portable Format
  The compact kit includes pre-measured reagents for 25 individual tests. Moreover, its lightweight and portable case makes it ideal for field use as well as laboratory settings.

• Simple Dropwise Procedure
  Users perform the test by adding reagents drop by drop and comparing the resulting color against a visual chart. In addition, the included instruction manual ensures the process is easy to follow, even for those new to chemical testing.

Applications

• Marine Aquaculture
  Fish farmers and aquarists use this kit to monitor ammonia in tanks and hatcheries. As a result, they can protect marine organisms from toxic buildup and maintain optimal health conditions.

• Oceanographic and Field Research
  Environmental scientists depend on this kit to track ammonia concentrations in coastal waters and open seas. For this reason, it is widely used in ecological surveys and water quality assessments.

• Saltwater Aquariums and Marine Systems
  Furthermore, the kit helps aquarium operators maintain stable water conditions, preventing ammonia spikes that can harm sensitive marine species.

• Education and Training
  This test kit is also valuable for academic programs. Specifically, it provides students with hands-on experience in marine water analysis and chemical testing techniques.
