ITS Arsenic Quick 5 Test Mini-Kit - 481396-5

481396-5 Arsenic Quick 5 Test Mini-Kit by ITS

Industrial Test Systems, Inc. features an impressive array of inorganic Arsenic Quick™ test kits that provide accurate results at affordable prices. Designed using cutting-edge chemistry, our kits report results in as few as 14 minutes and detect from 0.3 ppb. Our patented test kits are recommended by numerous states. Performance and accuracy of these kits have been verified by the USEPA through the ETV program ( www.epa.gov/etv). Our easy-to-use kits require no technical training. We invite you to see why the Quick™ line of Arsenic test kits from ITS are recognized throughout the world as premium inorganic arsenic field test kits. ALL KITS MEET HAZMAT COMPLIANCE STANDARDS FOR SHIPPING.

All Arsenic Quick™ kits detect below the MCL limits of inorganic arsenic concentrations in drinking water set by the EPA of 10 ppb (parts per billion) and the FDA limit in bottled water of 5 ppb.

Test Procedure:

1. For best results, verify that the water temperature is between 20°C to 30°C (ideally 22°C to 28°C). Use a thermometer to verify the temperature of the sample.

2. To each Reaction Bottle, slowly and carefully add the water sample to the upper marked line on the bottle (100 mL).

3. Add 3 level pink spoonfuls of First Quick TM Reagent to each Reaction Bottle. Cap bottles securely with yellow mixing caps and shake vigorously with bottles upright for 15 seconds.

4. Uncap both Reaction Bottles; add 3 level red spoonfuls of Second Reagent to each. Cap bottles securely with yellow mixing caps and shake vigorously with bottles upright for 15 seconds.

This step allows the test to tolerate Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) up to 2ppm (mg/L). If you suspect the presence of H2S by smell or testing, allow the sample to sit for 2 minutes to minimize H2S interference before proceeding to Step 5.

5. Uncap both Reaction Bottles and add 3 level white spoonfuls of Third Reagent to each. Cap bottles securely with yellow mixing caps and shake vigorously with bottle upright for 5 seconds.

6. Remove yellow mixing caps. Recap bottles securely using white reaction caps with turret up (open).

7. Remove two Arsenic test strips from the test strip bottle. Immediately recap the test strip bottle. In order for the results to be accurate, the test strips must be oriented correctly, and inserted to the correct depth. Insert the test strip into the turret:

a) Position the strip so that the test pad and red line are facing the back of the white reaction cap (see photo).

b) Insert the strip into the turret until the red line is even with the top of the turret, and close (flip down) the turret. This will hold the test strip in place.

8. Using a timer, time the reaction for 10 minutes. Allow the reaction to occur in an undisturbed, well-ventilated area. You will notice small hydrogen gas bubbles being generated.

9. After the 10 minute wait, pull up the turrets and carefully remove the test strips. Do not touch the reaction pads. Use the Quick TM Easy-Read TM Color Chart to match the reaction pad color. Position the reacted test strip pad behind the punched holes, view center of test strip pad through the hole, and confirm precise color match and Arsenic level. Complete matching within the next 30 seconds. After 30 seconds have elapsed, the colors may begin to change. For best color matching results, use natural daylight; avoid direct sunlight.

10. Record your results.

Quick™ Arsenic tests were developed with considerations for safety, sensitivity easy-of-use, and speed.

Safety has not been compromised for convenience in the Arsenic Quick family of arsenic field test kits. All reagents are in powder form and have been carefully selected to minimize the hazards associated with conventional arsenic testing. All components needed to accurately detect and measure arsenic are included in a portable ready-to-use kit.

Our easy to follow test procedure requires only three reagents and as little as 12 minutes to perform. Reagents are clearly labeled and color coded to make arsenic testing error free. A colorimetric test strip is used to take the guesswork out of accurate arsenic measurement. The matching color chart is thoughtfully printed with extra large color blocks and contrasting colors for quick and accurate determinations.

The patented (6,696,300) and patent pending test kits have five formats available to suit any testing requirement. Our standard Arsenic QuickTM test kit detects 5 ppb (µg/L) of arsenic in 12 minutes. For added sensitivity, use the Low Range Arsenic QuickTM kit to detect arsenic concentrations of 2 ppb (µg/L) in 12 minutes. The Arsenic Econo-QuickTM kit is our latest addition with 300 tests per kit at a low price and a detection level of 10 ppb (µg/L) with a quick 12 minute test time. For single use, retail sale, and evaluation, a 2-test Arsenic QuickTM kit is also offered.

Detection Range: 0, 5, 10, 20, 60, 100, 300, 500, >500, >>500 ppb (µg/L)
Total Test Time: 12 Minutes
Number of Tests per Kit: 5
