K-1533 Ammonia
K-1533 Ammonia Vacu-Vials Kit is used to determine Ammonia levels from 0-20 ppm.
This kit requires the use of the V-2000 or V-3000 Photometer or a spectrophotometer capable of accepting a 13 mm diameter round cell. Instruments sold separately.

Why Choose HR CHEMets kits?
HR CHEMets® is the new way to test at high ranges and replaces the now discontinued VACUettes product line. This product's measurement ranges overlaps with the discontinued K-2504D test kit.
The K-2520D Chlorine HR CHEMets® Test Kit (0-25 ppm) comes in a plastic case and contains everything needed to perform 30 tests (except distilled water): R-2500 CHEMets® Refill, C-2506 Comparator, A-2500 Activator Solution, 25 mL sample cup, A-0104 10mL syringe, and instructions.
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, Vacuvials 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 -1 25 mL Sample Cup -Stabilizer Solutions -Ampoule Blank -1 mL Syringe -Instruction Manual |
Method:
K-1533 uses the Direct Nesslerization Method. The Direct Nesslerization Method employs the Nessler reagent* which is commonly and reliably used to test for the presence of ammonia. This method works well for measuring ammonia concentrations in drinking water, clean surface water, good-quality nitrified wastewater effluent, and seawater. In some waters, calcium and magnesium concentrations can cause cloudiness of the reagent. Adding a few drops of stabilizer solution (Rochelle Salt) will prevent this cloudiness. References recommend distilling samples prior to analysis. Results are expressed as ppm (mg/L) ammonia-nitrogen, NH3-N.
Shelf-life: Although the Nessler reagent is stable, its high alkali content attacks the glass ampoule. The resulting precipitate interferes with color comparison. We recommend stocking quantities of CHEMets® and VACUettes® ampoules that will be used within five months. A two-month supply of Vacu-vials ampoules is suggested. Refrigeration will dramatically extend the shelf-life of these products.
*Contains mercury. Dispose of according to local, state or federal laws.
How to Use:
1. Fill the sample cup to the 25 mL mark with the sample to be tested. | 2. Add 2 drops of the Stabilizer Solution. Stir to mix the contents of the cup. |
3. Place the Vacu-vial ampoule tip-first into the sample cup. Snap the tip and the ampoule will automatically fill. | 4. To mix the ampoule, tilt it from side to side, allowing the bubble to travel from end to end. |
5. Dry the ampoule and wait 2 minutes for color development. | 6. Insert the Vacu-vial ampoule into the photometer, flat end first, and obtain a reading in ppm. |
