General description

(o-phosphate and total phosphorous) Method: Photometric, PMB 0.05 - 5.00 mg/L (PO4-P), 0.2 - 15.3 mg/L (PO43-), 0.11 - 11.46 mg/L (P2O5), Spectroquant®
The method is analogous to EPA 365.2+3, APHA 4500-P E, and DIN EN ISO 6878.
The Spectroquant® Phosphate Cell Test allows the accurate quantification of phosphate. Elevated levels of phosphate might lead to eutrophication of water bodies, which is a risk to the environment. Therefore, the concentration of phosphate in drinking water and wastewater is regulated in many countries.
Further applications are the determination of phosphate in foods & beverages (e.g. beer) and in environmental and agricultural samples (e.g. soil).
The Spectroquant® Cell Tests come with prefilled 16 mm round cells and all the required reagents to perform the analysis according to the instruction leaflet provided.
All Spectroquant® Cell and Reagent Test Kits are equipped with the unique Live ID (2D barcode), which allows seamless method recognition and contains essential information such as lot number, expiry date, and automatic calibration updates.
