Arsenic Field Test kit is a semi-quantitative method for Arsenic analysis on field sites. It can be used to detect concentration of Arsenic in untreated water samples by colorimetric comparison with provided color chart. Each kit provides the reagents fit for testing Arsenic of up to 50 water samples with a provision of refill of reagents if over. For concentration exceeding 200 ppb dilution with distilled water is preferred for better results. The kit has the detection limit of 10ppb to 500 ppb.

What is Arsenic Field Test Kit?
Arsenic Field Test kit is a semi-quantitative method for Arsenic analysis on field sites. It can be used to detect concentration of Arsenic in untreated water samples by colorimetric comparison with provided color chart. Each kit provides the reagents fit for testing Arsenic of up to 50 water samples with a provision of refill of reagents if over. For concentration exceeding 200 ppb dilution with distilled water is preferred for better results. The kit has the detection limit of 10ppb to 500 ppb.
Why Arsenic Field Test Kit?
Groundwater is the major source of drinking, irrigation and other domestic purposes. The greatest threat of arsenic is raised in pinnacle in Terai region of Nepal. Arsenic contamination of shallow and deep tube wells has been seriously affected to many people of Asian country and level of arsenic exceeded WHO guideline value.
The motivation behind the development of Arsenic Field test kit by ENPHO and Eco-Concern Private Limited was to provide a semi-quantitative low-cost method for the purpose of Arsenic analysis in untreated ground water. This kit can be used to detect Arsenic on-field where lab analysis facility is not present.
Key Features
- Semi-quantitative low-cost field test kit for testing arsenic in untreated ground water.
- Convenient to use.
- Each kit provides the reagents to test up to 50 water samples.
- Reagents can be refilled.
User’s Instructions
- Avoid contact of reagent with any part of the body.
- In case of contact, wash with plenty of water on the contact portion.
- The arsenic field test kit should be stored in cool and dry place.
- Avoid the chemicals/reagents to be subjected to direct sunlight and heat.
- Always wear a mask and gloves before starting the procedure.
- The reagent containers should be recapped immediately after use.
- Avoid touching the reagents and mercuric bromide paper directly by hand
- The cotton swab should be changed for each reaction
The product was modified in 2020 by Eco-Concern in collaboration with ENPHO after continuous research. It was introduced into Nepalese market to allow testing of Arsenic on field.
