Merck, 1147800001, Zinc Test

General description
Method: colorimetric with color-disk comparator 0.1 - 0.2 - 0.3 - 0.4 - 0.5 - 0.7 - 1 - 2 - 5 mg/l Zn MQuant®
The MQuant® Zinc test (formally MColortest®) measures zinc ions in:
Groundwater and surface water
Drinking water and mineral water
Beverages
Industrial water
Boiler water
Wastewater and percolating water
Electroplating wastewater
This test is not suited for seawater.

Method
In sulfuric solution zinc ions react with thiocyanate ions and brilliant green to form a blue-green complex. The zinc concentration is measured semiquantitatively by visual comparison of the color of the measurement solution with the color fields of a color disk. The test evaluates the color reaction based on the transmitted light method. So even turbid and colored water samples can be analyzed without further preparation.
The color disk is made of very durable, lightfast plastic, thus suitable for industrial areas and wet environments.
Using the refill pack 1.14782 containing all the reagents, the original test kit can be used for a very long time, making it a particularly economical and ecological system.
