*WARNING: Reagents marked with an * are considered to be potential health hazards. To view or print a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for these reagents go to www.lamotte.com. To obtain a printed copy, contact LaMotte by e-mail, phone or fax.

To order individual reagents or test kit components, use the speciﬁ ed code number. Read Demineralizer Bottle instruction manual before proceeding. The Demineralizer Bottle (1152) will be the source of all deionized water used in

these tests.

USE OF THE OCTA-SLIDE 2 VIEWER

The Octa-Slide 2 Viewer should be held so non-direct light enters through the back of the Viewer. Insert the reacted sample into the top of the Viewer. Slide the Octa-Slide 2 Bar into the Viewer and match the color of the reaction to the color standards.

WARNING! This set contains chemicals

that may be harmful if misued. Read

cautions on individual containers

carefully. Not to be used by children

except under adult supervision.

DILUTION PROCEDURE

If the test result in the nitrate, phosphate or potassium test is greater than the highest value it is necessary to perform a dilution. Use the 1.0 mL pipet (0354) and the 25 mL graduated cylinder (0417) as follows:

AMOUNT

OF SAMPLE

DILUTE TO MULTIPLY

RESULT BY

1.0 mL 5.0 mL 5

1.0 mL 10.0 mL 10

1.0 mL 20.0 mL 20

1.0 mL 25.0 mL 25

Use deionized water from the Demineralizer Bottle for all dilutions.

A pH value of 7.0 indicates a neutral solution. Values above 7.0 indicate alkaline solutions, while values below pH 7.0 indicate acid solutions.

1. Fill a test tube (0106) to 5.0 mL line with sample solution.

2. Add 4 drops of *Wide Range Indicator (2218). Cap and mix.

3. Insert pH Wide Range Octa-Slide 2 Bar (3424-01) into Octa-Slide 2 Viewer (1101).

4. Insert test tube into the Octa-Slide 2 Viewer. Match sample color to a color standard.

NOTE: If the pH of the sample is not between 6.2 and 6.8, it must be adjusted to 6.5 before proceeding the with the Nitrate, Phosphorus, and Potassium tests. If the pH is below 6.2 add *Sodium Hydroxide, 1.0N (4004), one drop at a time, periodically checking the pH until it is brought into the range of 6.2 to 6.8. If the pH is above 6.8, add *Hydrochloric Acid, 1.0N (6130) in the same manner.
