Hanna HI3834-050 Iron phenantroline colorimetric method

Hanna HI3834-050 Iron phenantroline colorimetric method

The Hanna HI3834-050 Iron phenantroline colorimetric method is a reagent refill kit designed for accurate measurement of iron (Fe²⁺ and Fe³⁺) concentrations in water using the phenanthroline colorimetric method. It provides a simple, visual solution for determining total iron content through a direct color comparison process. This kit is ideal for drinking water monitoring, industrial water quality testing, and environmental fieldwork.

Features

• Colorimetric Detection with Phenanthroline Method
  This kit uses phenanthroline to form a stable orange-colored complex with ferrous iron (Fe²⁺). As a result, the intensity of the color is directly proportional to the total iron concentration in the sample.

• Visual Testing Made Simple
  After adding the reagent to the sample, users compare the color produced with a reference chart included in the kit. If the color is pale, iron levels are low. If the color is strong, iron concentration is higher. Therefore, results are easy to interpret without any electronic instruments.

• Accurate Results in Minutes
  With a smallest increment of 1 mg/L and a measurement range of 0 to 5 mg/L, the kit provides sufficient resolution for most water quality monitoring needs. Moreover, the test delivers fast results, making it suitable for field or on-site assessments.

• Includes Reagents for 50 Tests
  The pre-measured reagents allow for convenient and consistent use, reducing the chances of error. In addition, the compact packaging (just 142.5 g) makes it portable and lab-friendly.

Applications

• Drinking Water Monitoring
  Elevated iron levels can affect taste, color, and clarity. Therefore, this kit helps utilities and households verify whether iron concentrations are within safe and acceptable limits.

• Industrial Water Testing
  In boilers, cooling systems, and manufacturing processes, iron content must be closely monitored to avoid scaling or corrosion. Consequently, regular testing supports operational efficiency and equipment longevity.

• Environmental Fieldwork
  Researchers and environmental technicians often test surface water or groundwater for iron. As such, this kit provides a practical, portable solution for field sampling.

• Education and Training
  Science educators use this kit to demonstrate principles of complex formation and water analysis. In fact, its simplicity makes it ideal for student labs and hands-on workshops.
