As water treatment professionals look to high-tech advancements like smart meters and on-line analysers for efficiency and accuracy, they continue to depend on proven simplicity, accuracy, and low cost-per-test colorimetric methods for water analysis.

Colorimetry is used to test for a wide array of analytes. The target analyte causes the sample solution to change colour proportionally to its concentration in the solution, and that change in colour can be measured visually or instrumentally.

Colorimetric test kits offer advantages to the analyst in that they are user-friendly and appropriate for field applications in a host of environments. Their low cost, convenience, flexibility, accuracy and efficiency appeal to users in all industries. 

Analysts have been relying on CHEMetrics and its full line of visual and instrumental colorimetric water testing products for more than 50 years.
