Can I add a dilution factor to my Palintest instrument?

Palintest multiparameter photometers enable the dilution factor to be entered during the test using the instrument keys. The instrument will then calculate the final answer using this factor, and the multiplication step will no longer be required.

Using Kemio, you can add a dilution factor to a label when performing a test. If a label with a dilution factor is used during the test, the factor will have applied to the number shown on the screen. For example, if a 50mg/L solution was diluted 5x and measured by Kemio using a label with a 5x dilution factor, the result displayed on the screen will be 50mg/L.

Soil Test Discontinuation

6th March 2023

Palintest exists with a simple but crucial purpose; to safeguard water for everyone, every day. It is this purpose that guides us in all we do. After an extensive review and realignment to this purpose, Palintest has decided to withdraw our soil testing range of products from the market. Our Soil Test range has enjoyed many years of success and we are proud of the positive impact it has had on agricultural communities globally. However, in order to focus on our core water analysis technologies, our Soil Test range will be retired.

Detecting Lead in Drinking Water – What is the Best Method?

23rd February 2023

Lead exposure, through the contamination of drinking water, can have major health implications. It is vital that municipal authorities can employ accurate testing methods to identify sources of lead contamination. Multiple techniques including Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP/MS) and Anodic Stripping Voltammetry (ASV) can be used to detect lead in water – in this article we review these methods in more detail.

Why does copper contamination cause a risk to community health? And how can it be tackled?

8th February 2023

The human body needs small quantities of copper to function. But as well as being a nutrient, copper can also be harmful if consumed in large quantities. Palintest’s patented single use copper sensor, which can be used in our Kemio™ product range, can allow water utilities organisations to easily carry out testing for copper in-situ at consumers’ taps.
