What is the Hanna Marine Ammonia Checker?

The Hanna Marine Ammonia Checker is an easy-to-use, handheld digital ammonia tester for measuring the water in saltwater and marine aquariums. This innovative checker allows you to accurately measure ammonia in marine aquariums, with a range from 0.00 to 2.50ppm. This Hanna Marine Ammonia Checker is a more accurate alternative to test kits and strips, with results displayed clearly on the screen and single-button operation.

How do I get an accurate measurement with my Hanna Marine Ammonia Checker?

There are many steps you can take to ensure the most accurate reading possible:

• Ensure that the sample does not contain any debris
• Hold dropper bottles completely vertically and squeeze slowly to ensure the correct drop size
• Whenever the cuvette is placed into the checker, it must be dry outside and free of fingerprints, oil and dirt
• Wipe the cuvette thoroughly with a microfiber cleaning cloth or a lint-free cloth prior to insertion
• Shaking the cuvette can generate bubbles, causing higher readings. To obtain accurate measurements, remove such bubbles by swirling or by gently tapping the cuvette
• Do not let the reacted sample stand too long after reagent has been added, as accuracy will be affected
• Discard the sample immediately after the reading has been taken or the glass might become permanently stained
• Prepare sample cuvette immediately after collecting the sample from the tank. Ammonia is volatile and will dissipate if stored in a bottle before analysis, causing low measurements
