Why Choose CHEMetrics Chemets kits?
CHEMetrics Chemets self-filing reagent ampoules are a great way to test for dissolved substances in liquids. These visual test kits allow you to obtain results by measuring the color of the sample according to the color comparators provided with the kit. This unique method allows you to attain results quickly and accurately with minimal contact with potentially hazardous materials.
Safe and Reliable Results:
While traditional methods often require multiple steps and thorough preparation, these test kits allow you to obtain dependable results with a few simple steps. By simplifying the testing method, Chemets test kits reduce the potential for operator error. Additionally, each of the ampoules contained in the test kits is vacuum sealed which helps eliminate the problem of obtaining inaccurate results from stale or unstable reagents. These reagents are stored right in the tip of each ampoule and sealed in glass, thereby minimizing direct contact with the chemicals.
What's Included:
-30 self-filling Ampoules -low and high-range comparators -1 25 mL Sample Cup -Activator Solution -Instruction Manual |

Method:
The K-6502 Manganese Kit was designed to accurately measure the levels of Manganese in water from 0-2 ppm. K-6502 uses the Periodate Method. CHEMetrics' tests employ the periodate chemistry that measures soluble manganese compounds but does not differentiate the various valence states. Results are expressed as ppm (mg/L) Mn. Permanganate (MnO4) develops approximately 25% more color with this reagent than other forms of manganese, causing a high bias. If the sample is known to contain manganese in the form of permanganate only, multiplying test results by 0.8 will improve the accuracy of the results.
Surface and ground waters rarely contain more than 1 mg/L of soluble or suspended manganese. Manganese can act as an oxidizing or a reducing agent depending on its valence state. Manganese is also used in the manufacture of batteries and as an alloying metal in the manufacture of steel and aluminum. The National Secondary Drinking Water Standard for manganese is 0.05 mg/L, as higher concentrations will impart a foul taste to water and discolor laundry and porcelain surfaces.
1. Fill the sample cup to the 15 mL mark with the sample to be tested. Add 3 drops of Stabilizer Solution. Stir to mix the contents of the cup. | 2. Place the ampoule tip-first into the sample cup. Snap the tip and the ampoule will automatically fill. |
3. To mix the ampoule, tilt it from side to side, allowing the bubble to travel from end to end. | 4. Dry the ampoule. |
5. Wait 1 minute for color development. | 6. To obtain results, place the ampoule between the color standards, moving it along the comparator until you can determine the closest match. |
