1. WATER ANALYSIS KIT (AQUA ANALYZER)

Introduction :

The aqua analyzer is a field kit that is like a mobile mini laboratory that enables ‘on the spot’ analysis of direct (pH, Temperature, transparency and Euphotic zone) and titrometric (Alkalinity, Salinity, DO, Hardness, H2 S. Productivity by dark and light bottle method) parameters. Thus, large water bodies and distant sampling zones can easily be covered. Similarly planktonic and benthic samples and water samples for spectrophotometric (NH4 , Nitrates, Phosphates, Silicates Sulphates, BOD and COD) can be brought to the laboratory for analysis.

Design :

The kit is in a form of a 18” (height), 12” (length) and 9” (breadth) box of zinc sheet with handles on the top and sides for easy handling and transport . A 12 X 9” opening platform, a part of side acts as the titration table.

Internally the box has two tiers formed by a removable rack fitting at the lower level of the opening platform. In the upper chamber along the sides of the walls racks are provided for keeping indicators, preservatives and other chemicals. The central space of upper chamber is utilized for keeping glassware (measuring cylinder, conical flasks, beaker, droppers and wash bottles). In the two corners opposite opening platform, vertical chambers are provided for keeping thermometers, pipettes etc.

In the lower ground chamber measuring 3 x 9 x 6 “, three rows created by vertical racks provide space for titrants, plankton and benthic sample bottles and water sample bottles. Plastic bottles are provided for reagents, indicators, titrants and other chemicals. Except titrants rest of the bottles are dropper type to avoid mixing / contamination by the use of the same droppers / pipettes etc. A separate pipette is provided for each titration. A Sacchi disc is also provided in each kit. The kit weighs 3 kg while going to the field and about 5-kg in return journey.

Uses :

The kit will be useful in water analysis crucial in water quality assessment in

· Teaching/Research in aquatic biology/Limnology/fisheries/pollution studies.

· Pollution monitoring and control.

· Aquaculture.

· Conservation of aquatic ecosystems.

· Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA).

· Potable water quality of ground / open well / tap water.

Price : A kit including the box, plastic bottles, one Sacchi disc and a book on methodology will cost Rs. 1500.00. The kit will be sent with a messenger.
