K-1430D Ammonia

Why Choose HR CHEMets kits?

HR CHEMets^® are the new way to test at high ranges and replaces the now discontinued VACUettes product line. This product is the closest replacement for the discontinued K-1420D test kit.

The K-1430D Ammonia HR CHEMets^® Test Kit (HBA) comes in a plastic case and contains everything needed to perform 30 tests (except distilled water): 30 HR CHEMets^® ampoules, a color comparator (C-1404), syringe (A-0063), MiniPet^® (A-0193), stabilizer solution (A-1404), catalyzer solution (A-1405) , activator solution (A-1410), pipettor tips pack (A-1410), 25 mL sample cup (A-1410), and instructions.

This test kit provides direct read results using a visual color comparison for applications where concentrations of ammonia between 0-2,000 ppm may be present such as wastewater.

What's Included:

Method:

The K-1430D Ammonia Kit was designed to accurately measure the levels of Ammonia in water from 0-2000 ppm and 0-10,000 ppm. K-1430D uses the Hydroxybenzyl Alcohol (HBA) Method. In the ammonia test method that employs the Hydroxybenzyl Alcohol chemistry, free ammonia reacts with hypochlorite to form monochloramine. Monochloramine reacts with HBA, in the presence of sodium nitroferricyanide, to form a green colored complex.  This test method measures the sum of free ammonia and monochloramine. Results are expressed in ppm (mg/L) ammonia-nitrogen, NH₃-N. The Hydroxybenzyl Alcohol Method offers sensitivity similar to the Nesslerization Method and there is no generation of mercury-containing waste.

1. Place a pipette tip firmly onto the end of the MiniPet®4 (fig. 1). Note: Use a fresh pipette tip for each test.	2. Depress the plunger on the minipet. Immerse the tip in the sample to be tested and release the plunger. A portion of the sample will be drawn into the tip (fig. 2).
3. Hold the minipet over the empty sample cup, and depress the plunger to dispense sample (fig. 3).	4. Dilute the contents of the sample cup to the 25 ml mark with distilled water (fig. 4).
5. Add solutions to the sample cup in the following order (fig. 5). 5 drops S-1404 Stabilizer 5 drops S-1405 Catalyzer (green) 5 drops S-1406 Activator (blue)	6. Immediately place the CHEMet ampoule, tip first, into the sample cup. Snap the tip. The ampoule will fill leaving a bubble for mixing (fig. 6). To mix the ampoule, invert it several times, allowing the bubble to travel from end to end. Dry the ampoule. Obtain a test result  5 minutes after snapping the tip.
7. Obtain a test result by placing the ampoule between the color standards until the best color match is found (fig. 7). NOTE: Use the concentration scale on the comparator label that corresponds to the range of the test procedure being used.	0 - 10,000 ppm Test Procedure Using the syringe provided, obtain 3 mL of the sample to be tested and dispense it into the empty Sample Prep Cup. 2. Dilute to the 15 mL mark with distilled water. Perform the entire 0 - 2000 ppm Test Procedure using this pre-diluted sample.
