Phosphate Meter Kit

Phosphate is usually measured using expensive and time consuming reagent test kits. Using  the Phosphate Meter kit is quicker and more convenient with a much lower cost per test than any equivalent measurement.

This unique test involves a simple two point calibration using 10 and 100ppm Phosphate Standards and direct reading of the sample with the direct reading QP459 ION Meter. (Included). It is not intended for low level phosphate testing between 0 and 2ppm.

The Phosphate test was developed in the UK as part of a DEFRA/Innovate UK programme to reduce the amount of Fertilizer and water used in the soft fruit and fresh produce industries. An additional benefit of this successful project was to reduce the discharge of Phosphate which has a massive environmental impact on our waterways.  The Project led to the development of a new NPK Meter which measures Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium simultaneously in one measurement. This product is now available.

The result can be read in ppm Phosphate or Total P. and the data stored in the internal memory or exported to Excel with the  Data Kit (not included).

This kit comprises of:

• Phosphate Combination ISE - only available in this kit
• QP459 ION Meter with direct concentration reading mode
• Phosphate Reagent A
• Phosphate Reagent B
• Phosphate Standard Solution (10ppm)
• Phosphate Standard Solution (100ppm)

Here are some of the benefits of using the EDT direction Phosphate Kit:

• Rugged Solid State Sensor
• No Filling solutions
• Direct reading Rugged Meter
• Built in dry Reference electrode
• Suitable for Laboratory and Field work
• Stored dry for long lifetime
• Low cost per test compared to reagent kits
• Easy to use
  

The Phosphate Combination ISE has a 1 metre cable and a BNC connector. This product is only compatible with the QP459 Portable Ion Meter.

The test is simple. To 50ml of sample add 5 ml of Reagent A, stir and add 5ml of Reagent B then read the Phosphate concentration.
