Field Chemistry EquipmentLamotte Brand Testing KitsAlcohol or mineral spirit thermometers Conductivity/TDS Meters (calibrated) pH meters calibrated with 4-7-10 standard solutions
Other field testing equipment is usable ifcalibrated and documented.
Testing strips such as pH paper and “dip strips”are not accepted.

Kits have enough chemical for 50 tests! (use them all you want!)Store in a cool, dry place.
NOT a hot car or freezing garage!
Chemicals should be replaced every two years.Should you need replacement chemicalsor glassware before then, let us know.

![Page 31: Field Water Chemistry Analysis Equipment Care Test Procedures Results Interpretation](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081513/568144fc550346895db1c863/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
There are hazardous chemicals in these kits!DO Test uses a strong alkali (like bleach)pH test chemical is flammable
Read Material Safety Data Sheets for handling and Disposal InstructionsUse plastic spent chemical waste container at streamDispose of properly at home.

We request that you Run D.O., Temp & pH test every field visit or sampling event.
Feel free to use them more frequently •For monthly or bi-weekly testing•For testing other resources•For educational demonstrations
