Advanced Horticultural
Soil Testing Labs
A complete soil-testing lab, designed to provide the grower, ag-consultant or researcher
with immediate, accurate and economical soil analysis in the field or in the lab
Combination Soil Testing Outfits
• This line of combination soil analysis outfits offers the finest visual
color matching system available
• Technically advanced reagent systems and unique extraction
procedures based on the Mehlich I extraction provide fast, simple
and extremely accurate soil testing
• Offers simplified methods for determination of available nutrients
found in agricultural soils
• Updated constantly with new advancements in modern chemistry
• A series of rapid, accurate chemical tests use standardized reagents
to produce color reactions measured against laminated color charts
• All are furnished in lightweight carrying cases with components
securely mounted in removable foam trays
• Provides flexibility for the in-house specialist who also wants to
make quick problem determinations in the field
• Colorimetric test methods are used for most test factors
• Tests for calcium, sulfate and chlorides are based on
turbidity measurements
• Potassium analysis employs a turbidity measurement, using a
unique reading device designed in LaMotte laboratories to read
directly in pounds per acre
• A single extraction procedure, using Morgan Universal Extraction
Solution, provides the liquid soil extract for all the nutrient
tests with the exception of chloride, which is extracted with
demineralized water
• The Humus Screening Test, performed on a soil sampledemineralized
water suspension, employs five color standards for
rapid measurement of humus content of the soil
• Soil pH is determined colorimetrically, using a series of pH
indicators and color charts covering the range of pH 3.8 to 9.6
• Includes simplified procedures for screening nitrates, phosphorus,
and potassium in plant tissues
• Each kit includes complete instructions, a soil management
handbook and a pad of soil analysis report forms for determination
of lime and fertilizer requirements

General Water Test Kit
The kit contains tests for several of the most frequently-monitored
factors in water quality. The test components are efficiently arranged
in the case for quick recognition and use. Hanna’s exclusive pHep
pH tester, is also supplied instead of conventional colorimetric
determinations to provide a faster and more accurate pH method.
All titration reagents are pre-standardized and ready to use. The kit
contains everything needed for on-site testing.

Testing is important in determining the corrosive properties of minerals
found in water, such as silicates, carbonates, bicarbonates, dissolved
salts of phosphates, and some organic acids. Testing alkalinity is
important in the treatment of drinking water, wastewater, pools,
heating and cooling, food and beverage cleaning systems, soil and
environmental testing, as well as in agriculture and
aquaculture applications.
