The Palintest Tubetests Metals Photometer and reagents offer a cost effective, professional system for water analysis. Tests now include copper, nickel, iron, chromium and zinc, as well as the established COD, Ammonia, Nitrate and Phosphate tests.
Due to increasing pressure from European legislation there is a growing requirement to carry out routine analysis on waste waters prior to discharge.
The Palintest Tubetests reagent system consists of a pre-dispensed tube of mixed acids for hot acid digestion of effluent samples, prior to colorimetric analysis of the metals.
Effluent samples may be highly coloured, at extreme pH, contain strongly bound complexed metals or thick precipitates of insoluble material. Acid digestion is used to destroy colour, dissolve precipitates and free metals from complexes, providing a much more reliable and effective test for effluent than conventional water test kits.

The Tubetests Laboratory Set contains all of the hardware required to carry out tests quickly and efficiently - Tubetests Heater with built-in safety system, test tube rack, photometer adapter and micropipettor.
The Palintest Tubetests heater is a dedicated dry-block heater which allows up to 12 tubes to be digested at the same time. Temperature fluctuation is controlled by the use of a platinum sensor controller providing uniform and controlled heating to the correct temperature for all the tubes placed in the block. The heater has a metal case construction and is fitted with an illuminated ON/OFF switch and heater indicator lamp. Available in 220/240v 50 Hz and 110/220v 60 Hz versions.
The Palintest Tubetests Heater (PT 592), Thermometer (PT 689), Test Tube Rack (PT 588), Photometer Adapter (PT 586) and Micropipettor (PT 572) are all available separately for use with existing equipment.
The multi-tube block heater offers significant advantages in space saving and power consumption compared with the traditional method.
