Drop-Count Titration Kits  

Drop-Count Titration

Drop count procedures provide a low-cost method for titrimetric determinations. Typical accuracy is ± 1 drop for titrations requiring up to 20 drops and ± 5% for titrations requiring over 20 drops.

Instrument-Based Kits  

Instrument-based Kits

Colorimeter-based kits provide the highest level of accuracy and repeatability. Pre-programmed for easy use, Hach's single-parameter field colorimeters provide years of reliable service.
