Acidifying GP Powder Pillows

Overview

Acidifying GP powder pillows lower the sample pH into the band a colorimetric method needs, which several metal and nutrient tests require before the colour will develop correctly. It replaces measuring out an acid on site.

Key features

• Sets the sample pH for methods that will only develop in acid conditions
• Pre-measured sachets, so nothing has to be weighed out on the bench
• Sealed individually, which keeps the reagent dry and the dose consistent
• Supplied in packs of 50 and 100 powder pillows, each with its own item code

Frequently asked questions

Why does a sample need acidifying?
Several colour reactions only work within a narrow pH band. The tablet sets that condition reproducibly, without anyone measuring and carrying acid.

Why use powder pillows instead of tablets?
A pillow is a pre-measured dose in a sealed sachet, so there is nothing to weigh out and no part-used tablet strip. Where a method is only offered in powder form, the pillow is what the instrument expects.

How should powder pillows be stored?
Keep them cool and dry in their sealed sachets, work through the oldest box first, and open a pillow only at the moment you dose the sample.
