Calcium Hardness Seawater Conditioning Powder Pillows

Overview

Calcium hardness conditioning powder condition a saline or seawater sample so that the high salt content does not distort the colour reaction. They are a preparation aid used alongside the reagent that does the measuring.

• Corrects for the salinity interference that skews readings on seawater
• 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 seawater need a conditioning powder?
The dissolved salts interfere with several colour reactions. The conditioning powder compensates for that background so the result reflects the parameter being measured.

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.
