Instructions for use of Salifert Oxygen analysis
Warning! Keep out of reach of children.
O2-1: Causes skin irritation.
IF ON SKIN: Wash thoroughly with soap and water.
If skin irritation occurs: Get medical advice/attention.
Causes serious eye irritation. Wear protective gloves Jun hydroxide
IF IN EYES: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes. Remove contact lenses, if present and easy to do. Continue rinsing. If eye irritation persists: Get medical advice/attention.
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Pour 5 ml of water into the test tube.
- Add 5 drops of O2-1 reagent and stir gently for 20 seconds. Do not stir, as this may change the oxygen content of the water.
- Add 5 drops of O2-2 reagent and stir gently for 15 seconds. Let stand for 3 minutes if it is seawater or 1 minute for other types of water.
- Add 5 drops of O2-3 reagent to it. Stir for 5 seconds after each drop added. Wait 60 seconds for the color to develop.
- Place the test tube above the color scale, on a white part, and compare the colors. An intermediate color corresponds to an intermediate oxygen concentration. The values are in mg/L (ppm) of oxygen.
Try to maintain 8 mg/L or more of oxygen in fresh water (aquarium or pond). In seawater, a concentration of at least 6 mg/L is recommended.
Some fish require higher concentrations.
SALIFERT - Oxygen Profi Test
Oxygen Profi Test by Salifert , corals and marine fish require very high levels of oxygen concentration due to the low solubility of oxygen in salt water so it is very important to regularly test the level of oxygen present .
