LAMOTTE
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about LAMOTTE from 3G Electric.
What is the measurement range and sensitivity of the LaMotte copper water quality test kit (MPN 3619)?
The LaMotte copper test kit (MPN 3619) measures copper concentration from 0.05 to 1.0 ppm with a sensitivity of 0.05 ppm. It is a colorimetric kit that includes a 10 mL plastic test tube with cap, 15 mL Copper A Solution, 15 mL Copper B Solution, a copper color chart, and instructions. The kit provides materials for 50 tests. This range is suitable for monitoring copper levels in water where low-level detection is required. The color chart allows visual comparison of the reacted sample against known standards. For exact procedural steps, refer to the instructions included with the kit.
What parameters can be measured with LaMotte single-parameter test strips?
LaMotte single-parameter test strips are available for specific analytes. Examples include total chlorine strips measuring 10 to 200 ppm with 200 tests per bottle, and QAC (quaternary ammonium compounds) strips measuring 50 to 400 ppm with 100 strips per package. Each strip is 3 inches long; the QAC strips are 1/4 inch wide. The strips use a color chart label for visual comparison. They are intended for single-parameter testing and do not require separate reagents. Because the strips are parameter-specific, buyers should select the strip that matches the target analyte and concentration range. 3G Electric lists multiple LaMotte strip SKUs, and each product page provides the relevant range and test count.
How does the LaMotte alkalinity test kit (MPN 4491-DR-01) work?
The LaMotte alkalinity test kit (MPN 4491-DR-01) is a titration-based kit that measures alkalinity from 4 to 200 ppm with a sensitivity of 4 ppm. It includes 50 indicator tablets, 60 mL of alkalinity titration reagent, an acid demand index color chart, a direct-reading titrator, instructions, and a test tube. The titration method involves adding indicator tablets to a sample and titrating with the reagent until a color change occurs; the titrator provides a direct reading of alkalinity. This kit is used for monitoring water quality in applications where alkalinity control is required. The included materials support 50 tests.
What are the specifications of the LaMotte multiparameter colorimeter (MPN 3586)?
The LaMotte multiparameter colorimeter (MPN 3586) is a digital colorimeter with an LED light source and six selectable wavelengths: 390, 428, 470, 525, 568, and 635 nm. It has 2% accuracy and tests for Total Hardness. The unit includes three syringes. The digital display provides readouts, and the LED light source is used for colorimetric measurements. This colorimeter is suitable for laboratory or field water analysis where multiple wavelengths are needed for different parameters. Buyers should confirm the specific test parameters and any required reagents or accessories for their application. The MPN 3586 is part of the LaMotte colorimeter line carried by 3G Electric.
What is the LaMotte SpinDisk Series BC803 reagent cartridge used for?
The LaMotte SpinDisk Series BC803 reagent cartridge (part number 4339-H) is a reagent cartridge for chlorine testing. It is designed for use with SpinDisk Series BC803 colorimeters. The maximum operating temperature is 80°F. This cartridge is a consumable used in water quality analysis for accurate chlorine measurement in laboratory or field settings. It is not a standalone test kit; it requires a compatible SpinDisk colorimeter. Buyers should verify that their existing SpinDisk instrument is the BC803 series before ordering. 3G Electric lists this cartridge under color comparator discs and boxes, and it is supplied as a single reagent cartridge.
What does the LaMotte soil core sampler include and what are its dimensions?
The LaMotte soil core sampler is made of galvanized steel and has an overall length of 12 inches and an overall diameter of 1 inch. It includes 20 soil sampling bags. The sampler is used for collecting soil samples in agricultural, environmental, and geotechnical field testing. The galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for repeated field use. The 1-inch diameter core is suitable for standard soil sampling procedures. The included bags allow for immediate containment and labeling of collected samples. This tool is part of the LaMotte soil testing line available from 3G Electric. For specific sampling depth or soil type limitations, refer to the manufacturer's instructions.
