Seachem Test Kit Ammonia, Free & Total

MultiTest™ Ammonia

• Measures total and free ammonia down to less than 0.05 mg/L
• Multi-cavity plate for simultaneous testing of up to 6 tests at the same time
• Includes reference for test validation
• Marine or Freshwater

This kit measures total (NH3 and NH4+) and free ammonia (NH3 only) down to less than 0.05 mg/L and is virtually interference free in marine and fresh water. Free ammonia is the toxic form of ammonia (vs. ionized Ammonia NH4+ which is non-toxic) and thus it is much more important to keep an eye on the level of free ammonia in your system. This kit may be used with freshwater or marine water. Unlike other kits on the market, the chemical basis for this test assures that interference from other substances is highly unlikely. MultiTest™ Ammonia performs over 75 tests and contains a reference sample for validation.

Features

• 75 Tests
• MultiTest™ Ammonia performs over 75 tests
• And with the multi-cavity test plate, multiple tests can be run at the same time.

Seachem Sensor Technology

This kit is based on the same gas exchange technology that is used in the Ammonia Alert® and thus is the only kit on the market that can read levels of free ammonia while using ammonia removal products such as Prime®, Safe™, AmGuard™ and any similar competing products. Other kits (salicylate or Nessler based) determine the total ammonia by raising the pH of the test solution to 12 or greater. At this high pH all ammonia removal products will breakdown and rerelease the ammonia, thus giving you a false ammonia reading.

Reference Sample

It isn't necessary to run a reference test to use this kit; however, its proper performance can be validated by running a test in the normal manner except that the reference sample is used in place of aquarium sample. You might choose to run a reference test if you have cause to believe the test is giving incorrect results.

Colour Chart

All MultiTest™ test kits come with an easy-to-read colour chart. It features a 5 cm viewing window to help isolate colour and match as closely as possible to the test sample

Opaque Multi-Cavity Test Plate

All MultiTest™ test kits are read from an opaque white test plate. The sliding colour chart along with the six-cavity test plate allows for easy reading and comparisons of several samples at the same time.
