HI3818 | Hanna Carbon Dioxide Test Kit 0-100 mg/L

Maintain the delicate balance of your aquatic ecosystems with the Hanna HI3818 Carbon Dioxide Chemical Test Kit, a critical monitoring tool for aquaculture, environmental testing, and water conditioning in Pakistan. Carbon Dioxide ($CO_2$) is naturally present in water, but high concentrations can dangerously lower pH and hinder fish from extracting oxygen, leading to stress or suffocation.

The HI3818 utilizes a titration method to measure Carbon Dioxide levels with precision in three distinct ranges: 0.0 to 10.0 mg/L, 0.0 to 50.0 mg/L, and 0.0 to 100.0 mg/L. This versatility makes it ideal for everything from delicate hatchery tanks to natural lakes. The kit is fully self-contained, including a calibrated vessel, reagents, and a clear set of instructions for easy field use. With enough materials for approximately 110 tests, it provides a cost-effective way to ensure your water remains safe for aquatic life.

Frequently Asked Questions:

• Q: Why is Carbon Dioxide dangerous to fish?

  • A: While plants need $CO_2$, excess levels in the water (often from overcrowding or decomposition) act as an acid, lowering the pH. More critically, high ambient $CO_2$ prevents fish from excreting the $CO_2$ in their blood, leading to acidosis and potential death.

• Q: How does the test work?

  • A: It uses a Phenolphthalein titration. You add the indicator to the sample; if it remains colorless, $CO_2$ is present. You then slowly add the titrant solution drop-by-drop until the sample turns a persistent pink color. The amount of titrant used corresponds to the $CO_2$ concentration.

• Q: Can I buy refill reagents?

  • A: Yes. Once the initial supply is exhausted, you can purchase the HI3818-100 replacement reagent kit to continue using the original testing hardware.
