General information
The Potakit is designed to test both the microbiological and physicochemical parameters of drinking water.
An intermediate level test kit, it enables the end-user to test for a full range of water quality parameters. The kit is self-contained and fully portable, and conforms to WHO guidelines on water quality monitoring.
The kit can perform the following tests:
Faecal coliform count
A single incubator, can accommodate 20 Petri dishes simultaneously; two temperature settings 37 and 44ºC, permits incubation to test for faecal or total coliform.
The portable incubator is powered via an external rechargeable battery, which can be run off of a mains power system, an AC or DC operation via the socket in the vehicle’s cigarette lighter or solar power.
Turbidity test
Two-part turbidity tube.
Chlorine, pH tests and conductivity:
Waterproof, digital pocket meters to test for pH and conductivity.
Chemical parameters
Colour comparator for testing over 30 different chemical parameters. The kit also includes a VCDK arsenic testing device for the visual, quantitative analysis of arsenic to ppb levels.
Dimensions: 410 x 240 x 335mm
Weight: approximately 10kg
Incubator: Dual temperature setting 37°C and 44°C, external 12V power supply, capacity: can accommodate 20 x 47mm aluminium Petri dishes simultaneously.
The kit comes equipped with reagents and consumables to carry out 200 microbiological tests and 200 tests for each of the following: ammonia, arsenic, chlorine (DPD1 and 3), fluoride, nitrites and nitrates.
