Salifert Test Kit Iodine

Product details

Salifert Test Kit Iodine is a marine aquarium water test kit designed to measure iodine at trace levels. In natural seawater iodine occurs in several different chemical forms (including iodide, iodate, molecular iodine and hypoiodite). The kit is used to check the tank’s total iodine concentration and help you evaluate whether iodine supplementation—when used—may be adding too little or too much.

Features:

• Measures “total iodine” by accounting for naturally occurring iodine compounds rather than only one specific form
• General guidance note: iodate is the predominant iodine form in natural seawater, so tests that do not detect iodate can give falsely low results
• Designed to provide accurate readings with reduced interference from other elements found in saltwater
• Color remains stable for several hours, supporting consistent comparison to the color chart
• Range covers low iodine levels commonly targeted in aquariums, with an optimum level of 0.06 mg/L noted by the manufacturer
• Marine use only; follow storage and handling warnings (keep out of reach of children, store reagents out of light)
• Timing matters: compare results at exactly 4 minutes after adding the final reagent to avoid further darkening

Specifications:

• Test range: 0.01–0.15 ppm

• Test capacity: Up to 40 tests
• Measurement basis: Total iodine (all naturally occurring iodine compounds)
• Usage: For marine use only
• Read time guidance: Compare colors exactly 4 minutes after adding the final reagent
