The Spectroquant Sulfate Test (catalogue No. 101812) provides a photometric, turbidimetric method for determining sulfate ions in water and aqueous samples. With a measuring range of 0.50–50.0 mg/L , it performs quantitative sulfate analysis using a barium sulfate formation reaction and is compatible with Spectroquant photometers like Move 100, Nova 60 A, and Prove series. Applicable in environmental, drinking water, wastewater and industrial testing.
The Sulfate Test (catalogue No. 101812) from the Spectroquant line by Merck is a ready-to-use photometric reagent test kit for precise quantification of sulfate ions in water and related matrices. The method relies on a turbidimetric reaction where sulfate ions react with barium ions to form barium sulfate precipitate, and the resulting turbidity is measured photometrically. The kit is suitable for environmental, drinking water, mineral water, ground and surface water, aquaculture and wastewater analysis.
Advantages
- Photometric quantitative determination of sulfate with a range of 0.50–50.0 mg/L.
