Hanna Ammonia Test Kit HI3824 for Fresh Water
Product Overview
Hanna Ammonia Test Kit HI3824 for Fresh Water is a chemical testing kit designed to measure ammonia-nitrogen concentration in freshwater samples. Manufactured by Hanna Instruments, this kit uses a colorimetric method based on an adaptation of the Nessler method. It is suitable for water quality monitoring, laboratory analysis, aquaculture, fish farming, and freshwater aquarium testing.
The HI3824 measures ammonia-nitrogen within a range of 0.0–2.5 mg/L (ppm), with a smallest increment of 0.5 mg/L. The kit includes pre-made reagents and the equipment required to perform approximately 25 tests. Its visual color comparison system provides a straightforward way to estimate ammonia concentration without requiring an electronic measuring instrument.

Key Features of Hanna Ammonia Test Kit HI3824
1. Freshwater Ammonia Measurement
The Hanna Ammonia Test Kit HI3824 is designed to determine ammonia-nitrogen concentration in freshwater. Ammonia may enter water through the natural decomposition of plants and animals, agricultural runoff, and wastewater contamination. Monitoring ammonia can help users identify changes in water quality and assess whether further investigation is required.
2. Colorimetric Testing Method
The kit uses an adaptation of the Nessler method. Under alkaline conditions, ammonia reacts with the Nessler reagent to produce a yellow-colored complex. The intensity of the developed color corresponds to the ammonia-nitrogen concentration. Users compare the sample color with the supplied color comparison cube to estimate the result.
3. Complete Testing Setup
The kit includes the necessary reagents and equipment for its specified testing procedure, including a sample beaker, color comparison cube, and reagent dropper bottles. The pre-made reagents help simplify routine testing. Reagent lot numbers and expiration dates support product traceability.
4. Approximately 25 Tests
The supplied reagents are sufficient for approximately 25 tests, making the kit suitable for periodic water analysis. When the reagents are exhausted, compatible replacement reagents can be ordered under product code HI3824-025.
Applications of Hanna Ammonia Test Kit HI3824
The HI3824 can be used in suitable freshwater testing applications, including:
- Freshwater quality monitoring
- Laboratory water analysis
- Fish farming and aquaculture
- Freshwater aquarium maintenance
- Environmental water monitoring
- Educational and research laboratories
- Preliminary investigation of possible agricultural or urban pollution
Ammonia is an important water quality parameter because elevated concentrations can be harmful to fish and other aquatic organisms. Ammonia testing can also help identify potential pollution sources. Results should be interpreted according to the sample type, testing range, and applicable water quality requirements.
Why Choose Hanna Ammonia Test Kit HI3824?
This kit combines pre-made reagents, a defined measurement range, and a visual comparison system in one package. Its compact testing setup makes it convenient for routine freshwater ammonia analysis in laboratories and field-related applications where the specified method is appropriate.
For reliable results, follow the manufacturer’s instructions for sample volume, reagent addition, reaction time, and color comparison. The kit’s measurement range and resolution should be considered when deciding whether it is suitable for a particular application.
