Fast ammonia detection in water to ensure safe water quality; ideal for aquariums, hydroponics, wastewater, and education. Measure 0-100 ppm NH3/NH4+ in seconds compared to lab methods.
Indigo® Instruments 0–100 ppm Ammonia Test Strips provide a quick, reliable way to monitor ammonia/ammonium levels in water. Used by aquarium keepers, hydroponic growers, wastewater technicians, and educators, these test strips detect excess nitrogen compounds before they harm aquatic life or plant systems. Each strip gives a clear, color-matched result in less than 60 seconds—no reagents, meters, or glassware required.
Discipline | Key Learning Outcomes |
---|---|
Chemistry | Understand the equilibrium between ammonia (NH3) and ammonium ion (NH4+) and how pH influences this balance. Learn about colorimetric detection methods and the chemistry of ammonia indicators. |
Biology | Explain ammonia’s role in the nitrogen cycle and its impact on aquatic organisms. Recognize how biological nitrification converts ammonia to nitrite and nitrate in ecosystems and wastewater treatment. |
Environmental Science | Relate ammonia testing to water quality monitoring, eutrophication, and pollution control. Interpret test results to assess ecosystem health and the effectiveness of treatment or remediation systems. |
Engineering / Applied Technology | Apply ammonia test data for process optimization in wastewater treatment, aquaculture, and cooling systems. Understand how ammonia levels influence corrosion, biofilm growth, and overall system efficiency. |
Field test strips are ideal for routine checks; when results approach regulatory limits or show unexpected variation, confirm with a calibrated instrument.
