In order to maintain good water quality, a range of
test kits that offers accuracy, consistency and support is an integral part
of a successful aquarium. Elos Aqua Test Kits are designed, manufactured and
tested to standards that are unparalleled in this industry. All Elos Aqua
Test kits provide the following:
Calibrated droppers. Our bottles are designed to
provide a consistent drop size, which is a key element in testing,
regardless of who is squeezing the bottle the drop remains consistent. Many
less expensive brands will rely on the cheapest possible bottles, syringes
and tips that can easily skew the test results.
While all chemicals should be considered dangerous
and handled accordingly, Elos uses the highest quality reagents that are
non-toxic. All Elos boxes, instructions and reagents are clearly labeled
along with childproof packaging that amazingly is not found in some of our
competitors who base their kits largely on toxic chemicals! Of course, it is
more costly to use such a high grade of reagents, use proper packaging and
labels but we feel it is necessary. In some kits you will even notice a
raised label for people who are vision impaired.
Validation of each Reagent batch using NIST (National
Institute of Standard and Technology) certified samples. While some may
claim to use, “lab quality components” in their kits, Elos validates each
batch of reagents using these NIST certified samples.
Batch testing the results of our Marine kits that
enter the USA using an Independent Sea Water lab to further ensure we are
providing a reliable kit is also done.
All chemical test kits are susceptible to damage from
extreme temperatures and Elos carefully ships and stores our test kits
before they ship to the retailer or final customer. This is a vital step
that often is neglected.
Written and illustrated instructions along with
professionally calibrated color charts (when needed) make it easy to use the
kit correctly from beginners to experts.
Expiration dates, batch and lot numbers in every kit
and every reagent to allow us to carefully track and when needed, assist
customers with questions about their kit.
When purchasing your next kit compare our track
record of reliability, consistency and support with any other test kit range
on the market and you will see that no testing kit company compares. The
Elos Aqua Test Kit range is truly, “a lab quality kit designed for the
hobbyist”.
