Acidifying PT Tablets for Photometers

Overview

Acidifying PT tablets 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
• One tablet per test, so there is no measuring or decanting of liquid reagents
• Foil-sealed strips keep unused tablets dry until they are needed
• Supplied in the standard 250-tablet pack, item code TbsHAFPP250

Applications

Metals and nutrient testing that calls for an acidified sample, field kits where handling liquid acid is impractical, and routine laboratory preparation.

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.

Photometer grade or rapid grade — which do I need?
Photometer grade is formulated for instruments that read a cuvette. If you work with a visual comparator or colour disc, ask us for the rapid-dissolving grade instead.

How should the tablets be stored?
Keep them sealed, cool and dry, and work through the oldest strip first. Once a strip is opened the tablets take up moisture, so use them promptly.
