How to measure ammonia in water?
The determination of the ammonia concentration in fresh water is carried out with a colorimetric test.
Given the required precision, it is recommended to use a photometer for the measurement.
Example of a single-parameter photometer:
Mini ammonia photometer, low range (Hanna HI 700 reference)
Reagents for low range ammonia (HI 700), 25 tests (reference Hanna HI 700-25)
Continuous monitoring of free (toxic) ammonia
Ammonia-Alert from SeaChem is an innovative chromatic device that continuously detects and monitors toxic free ammonia. The detector reversibly changes color from yellow to green and blue, depending on the ammonia concentration.
No equipment, chemicals or handling are required. The device detects less than 0.05 mg/L (ppm) of free ammonia. It works for approximately 6 months and can be used in both fresh water and sea water.
