Reef Status Strontium Test Kit

The Reef Status Strontium test is the fastest and easiest way to measure strontium concentrations in your reef tank. Strontium tests can often be difficult and lengthy to perform, but the Seachem Reef Status test provides a highly refined test process that can provide results in just 10 minutes. Strontium occurs in natural seawater at a concentration of about 8 to 10 mg/L. Its addition to reef aquariums aids the growth of corals, coralline algae and other organisms that lay down a calcereous skeleton or shell, including tridacnid clams. It is chemically very similar to calcium, and many organisms incorporate it in their skeletons along with calcium, so it's worth keeping tabs on levels to ensure they're within range. 

Features

• 50 titration tests for strontium
• Only 10 minutes per test!
• Precise results in 0.5 mg/L increments
• Easy test validation with included reference

The test involves separation of strontium from the sample by a highly selective extraction technique, followed by a sensitive titration in 0.5 mg/L increments. The sample is treated and filtered through an adsorbent to selectively remove the strontium from solution. The filtrate is discarded and the adsorbent is washed to remove residual sample. The strontium is then eluted from the adsorbent and measured. Reef Status Strontium is capable of at least 50 strontium determinations and is designed specifically for seawater.
