Fish farming of aquatic organisms is a growing and increase in demand for fish and fish products is creating challages in aquaculture systems. The growth in the farming of aquatic organisms has particularly led to an increase in the number of Fresh Water Aquaculture. The quality fishes are all significantly impacted by water quality parameters and which must be closely monitored and controlled for the best result. To help easy the process our multiparameter AE108F - AQUACULTURE FRESH WATER TEST KIT give quick and reliable results. Following Parameters can be easly analysed using our test kit. Ammonia Ammonia is one of the many forms of Nitrogen existing in environment. While other Nitrogen forms (other than Ammonia) can affect aquatic life indirectly Ammonia is directly toxic to aquatic life. Ammonia enters the aquatic surrounding through municipal effluent discharge thru nitrogen waste from mammals or also thru natural means like nitrogen fixation or agriculture runoff water. High levels of Ammonia lead to a toxic buildup in internal tissue and blood in marine species leading to potential death. pH and temperature can affect the Ammonia toxicity to aquatic life. Nitrite Nitrites are salts of nitrous acid which occur naturally or artificially in ground water. They are released in water from Fertilizer runoff water sewage and mineral deposits.High levels of Nitrite are toxic to mammals and other lower forms like marine species. They disturb the oxygen delivering ability ofhemoglobin in the bloodstream. Also large blooms of Algae can grow due to high Nitrite level leading to hypoxia. Hypoxia dead zones created are deadly to almost all marine species. Therefore regularly monitoring of Nitrite levels is very essential and needs to be done judiciously in both marine and fresh water. pH pH is the measure of the hydrogen ion concentration in water. It denotes if the water is acidic (<7) or alkaline (>7). When pH is 7 it is said to be neutral. Natural water range between pH 5.0 and pH 10.0 while sea water is near pH 8.3. Monitoring of pH becomes an important exercise for the growth and well being of fresh water species this is especially true for a closed water body viz. breeding pond pans or aquariums. Fresh water species thrive over a large pH range viz.6.0 9.5.The growth retards below 6.0 and below 4.0 most species are killed. Nitrate Nitrates are found in nature and many of our food material. Generally the level of Nitrates is quite low in ground water. In aquatic environments Nitrates may seep in thru fertilizer runoff from cultivated lands municipal industrial and also private sewage disposal systems and waste water refuse dumps and decaying plant debris. High Nitrate levels in Drinking water pose a great health risk to Infants causing Methemoglobinemia Blue Baby Syndrome The presence of Nitrates in the Aquatic environment does not pose such a problem as Ammonia or Nitrites. Nitrate concentrations of 50 ppm or so are quite safe for fish. But if the levels reach 80 ppm then the problem begins as this high concentration can be toxic. Another problem with Nitrates is that Algal blooms happen and these are highly detrimental to the aquatic species. Bacterial and Fungai infections prevail in these conditions and cause the Fish to lose immunity along with their capacity to reproduce thus retarding growth.

Soil testing is the analysis of a soil sample to determine nutrient and contaminated content composition and other major nutrient characteristics. A soil test can determine fertility or the expected growth potential of the soil which indicates nutrient deficiencies potential toxicities from excessive fertility and inhibitions from the presence of non-essential trace minerals. Soil testing is often performed targeting groups of compounds and minerals which need to be in adequate quantities for the soil to be productive and subsequently give a healthy crop. The advantages of testing are that excessive use of fertilizer can be avoided which results in reduction of Waste of plant and potential damage to environment can be controlled. Therefore it makes good sense to test the soil for these nutrients and add the required amount of fertilizer. Soil has to contain some major nutrient for the crops to be healthy. The major nutrients which need to be in adequate quantities for the soil to be productive and subsequently give a healthy crop are: NITROGEN Nitrogen encourages above ground vegetative growth and it serves as the source for the dark green color in the leaves of various crops. PHOSPHOROUS Phosphorus is a component of the complex nucleic acid structure of plants which regulates protein synthesis. It is therefore important in cell division and development of new tissue in roots. POTASSIUM Potassium takes care of multiple functions like Photosynthesis Protein Synthesis and Starch formation and for the translocation of Sugars. It also imparts resistance to the plant against Microbial attack and if deficient results in poor flowering and fruit formation. pH pH is important because it influences how easily plants can take up nutrients from the soil. Also is useful in prevention of soil borne disease. ORGANIC CARBON Carbon content of soil is a major factor in its overall health. Soil carbon improves the physical properties of soil and water-holding capacity of sandy soil. Also it contributes to the structural stability of clay soils by helping to bind particles into aggregates of which carbon is a major part holds a great proportion of nutrients that are of importance to plant growth. It prevents nutrient leaching and is integral to the organic acids that make minerals available to plants.

The alkalinity of water is capacity of water to neutralise acid to desired ph. It is mainly a sum of carbonate bicarbonate and hydroxide ions. Salts of weak acids like borate silicate and phosphate may also contribute to alkalinity. Alkalinity is important in the treatment of potable water waste water boiler and cooling water. Our AQUASOL AE204 - ALKALINITY TEST KIT is very easy to use test to gives reliable results.

Sulphite is not usually present in surface waters. If sulphite is discharged in effluents or from domestic wastewaters it readily oxidizes to sulphate. Sodium sulphite the most common form of sulphite is an excellent reducing agent and is commonly used as an oxygen scavenger to control corrosion. Sulphite concentrations in boiler and process waters must be monitored regularly to protect the systems. Our AE206 - SULPHITE TEST KIT works when sulphite in salt form has been added to waters. It is a titration method easy to use and easy to read.

Tannin is a natural organic material that is the by-product of nature s fermentation process created as water passes through peaty soil and decaying vegetation.

The AE2TN - TANNIN TEST KIT is a titrimetric one and has reagents for two ranges in the same kit making it portable and user-friendly.

Yeast are unicellular fungi which are used to make bread and other wheat-based products such as dough and dumplings. Also they are useful in production of alcoholic beverages through fermentation. Almost all species of yeasts and fungi grow on BACTASLYDE TBC test kit and there growth may consist either purely of yeasts or purely of fungi or may be mixed. Fungi are aerobic and commonly occur in nature especially in places which are damp where organic matter and oxygen are present. They produce vast numbers of spores and grow continuously without regards to size and shape. Several fungi are domesticated species that are bred or selected according to their capacity to ferment food without producing harmful toxins. The Total Bacterial Count gives a quantitative idea about the presence of microorganisms such as bacteria yeast and mold in a sample. It is also known as Total Viable Count (TVC) Heterotrophic Plate Count (HPC) Heterotrophic Colony Count (HCC) Aerobic Plate Count (APC) Total Plate Count (TPC) or Standard Plate Count (SPC) and it represents the total bacterial load in a given sample. All our range of dip slides enables you to perform the Total Bacterial Count on one side of the slide to reflect the general hygiene condition of a sample.

Sulfate Reducing Bacteria (SRB) are those bacteria that can obtain energy by oxidizing organic compounds or molecular hydrogen while reducing sulfate to hydrogen sulfide. They are also know as Sulfide Generating Bacteria (SGB) and commonly found in anaerobic environments where they aid in the degradation of organic materials like secondary oil recovery effluents estuarine waters deep wells cooling waters metalworking fluids water-based hydraulic fluids and petroleum based products. They can survive up to 600 DegC and cause pitting corrosion on metal structures that are exposed to sulfate-containing water by cathodic depolarization. They also play a role in the anaerobic oxidation of methane below the seabed in the transition zone which leads to heavy production loss. Since sulfate is also found in some formulations of or the other used in water treatment viz corrosion inhibitors coolants etc. Sulfate acts as a hydrogen acceptor produces hydrogen sulfide and ferrous sulfide. These together form a malodorous black slime. In some case bubbles of H2S rise though the water and cause objectionable odors. The corrosion of iron by sulfate reducing bacteria is rapid and unlike ordinary rusting is not self limiting. Our specially developed test kit with a unique 10ml sample size gives a much detailed quantitative analysis of the SRB count in a sample. BACTASLYDE SRB is supplied in boxes of 5 along with the complete instructions set for a complete quantitative analysis of the contamination.

Iron oxidizing bacteria occur worldwide in fresh water sea and brackish waters. They derive the energy they need to live and multiply by oxidizing dissolved ferrous iron or manganese. Generally most species oxidize ferrous or manganese oxides in there extracellular structures like sheaths or stalks rather than inside their own cells. The resulting oxide is insoluble and appears as yellow brown slime especially in iron bearing waters adhering to stones or water plants or even soil. Problems occur when bacteria build up in well systems and reduce well yields by clogging screens and pipes. They comprise of the various species like Sphaerotillus Leptothrix Crenothrix Gallionella and Siderocapsa. Our BACTASLYDE Test Kit is supplied in boxes of 5 along with the complete instructions set for a complete quantitative analysis of the contamination.

Salmonella bacteria are zoonotic and can be transferred between humans and other animals. These are intestinal pathogens and are cause for many diseases viz. typhoid paratyphoid food poisoning etc. Classic typhoid fever is a serious and life-threatening infection which has a mortality approaching 20%. Cases of enteric fever almost always occur from the ingestion of contaminated food or water. These bacteria can survive for some time without a host for weeks outside a living body and they are not destroyed by freezing. They are frequently found in polluted water contamination from the excrement of carrier animals being particularly important. This organism enters through the digestive tract due to ingestion of contaminated food. The food infection is generally thru eating or handling contaminated raw or not properly cooked meat of cattle swine poultry fish etc. FDA has laid down mandatory testing norms to control risk of salmonella contamination in foodstuff like spices fish and eggs etc. BACTASLYDE is supplied in boxes of 5 along with the complete instructions set for a complete quantitative analysis of the contamination.

Boilers are systems which generate steam which consists of two principal parts: the furnace which provides heat usually by burning a fuel and the Boiler proper a device in which the heat changes water into steam. The steam or hot fluid is then recirculated out of the boiler for use in various processes for heating applications. Proper pre-treatment of Boiler feed water is an important part of operating and maintaining a boiler system. As steam is produced dissolved solids become concentrated and form deposits inside the boiler. This leads to poor heat transfer and reduces the efficiency of the boiler. Dissolved gasses such as oxygen and carbon dioxide will react with the metals in the boiler system and lead to boiler corrosion. In order to protect the boiler from these contaminants they should be eliminated or at least through external or internal treatment. Our AE102 - BOILER WATER COMBINATION TEST KIT is easy to use and gives reliable and caccurate results.
