The HI3847 is a colorimetric chemical test kit that determines the copper concentration in samples within a 0 to 2.5 mg/L (ppm) range. The HI3847 is supplied with all of the necessary reagents and equipment to perform the analysis. The test kit contains enough reagents to perform approximately 100 tests.
Features at-a-glance
- Complete setup
- All required materials are included with the test kit, such as the color comparison cube and reagent packets.
- High resolution
- Readings from 0 to 2.5 mg/L are determined with a smallest increment of 0.5 mg/L.
- Replacement reagents available
- There is no need to buy a new kit when reagents are exhausted. The HI3847-100 reagent set can be ordered to replace the reagents supplied with the kit. This reagent set comes with 100 packets of HI3847-0 reagent.
Significance of Use
Copper is an essential trace element in for plant metabolism as well as the human diet, with a daily requirement of around 2.0 mg. Due to its malleability, thermal and electrical conductivity, and corrosion resistance, copper is also used in a variety of industrial and technological applications. Copper may also be present in natural water and effluents due to widespread use to control biological growths in reservoirs and distribution pipes.
