Visual test kits can be evaluated by eye, without further equipment. They are divided into colorimetric test kits, which are compared to a color chart, and titrimetric test kits, where the amount of used reagent is related to the measured value. Some tests are also suitable for photometric evaluation.

VISOCOLOR ECO

VISOCOLOR ECO presents a product group of colorimetric and titrimetric test kits, which allow even the determination of low limiting values with sufficient accuracy. The high sensitivity and accuracy is accomplished by single reagents which can be dosed precisely and by the possibility to compensate turbidity and color of water samples. The results are evaluated visually with high-quality color comparison cards, which are adjusted to the original colors of standard solutions. In addition, there is the possibility to evaluate most VISOCOLOR ECO tests also photometrically with the compact photometers PF-3 and PF-12Plus. This enables a quantitative evaluation of the test kit. Budget-priced refill packs are available for photometric evaluation as well as for replacement of consumed chemicals.
All VISOCOLOR ECO test kits are delivered in a practical cardboard box with plastic inlay and easy to understand instruction manual. In addition, practical pictogram instructions are available for every test kit.

VISOCOLOR HE

VISOCOLOR HE test kits are highly sensitive colorimetric and titrimetric tests to determine even the lowest limiting values. The exact dosing of the single reagents as well as the compensation of turbidity and color are the basis for a highly precise analysis. Maximum sensitivity and accuracy are achieved by the use of longer measuring tubes and larger sample volumes. The sensitivity of VISOCOLOR HE is 10 to 100 times higher compared to other VISOCOLOR tests. The visual evaluation of the colorimetric test kits is done with high-quality color comparison disks, which are adjusted to the original color of standard solutions. Refill packs are available as replacement for consumed reagents. Every VISOCOLOR HE test kit is delivered in a robust box with plastic inlay and an easy to understand instruction leaflet.

VISOCOLOR Powder Pillows

VISOCOLOR Powder Pillows are photometric tests that combine easiest dosing of reagents with photometric precision. Each VISOCOLOR Powder Pillow contains the exact amount of reagents needed for a determination. The individually packaged portions not only stand out due to their very long shelf life, but also avoid the use of hazardous substances wherever possible. Easy to understand test instructions with pictograms in 6 languages are available on MACHEREY‑NAGEL homepage. VISOCOLOR Powder Pillows can be evaluated on compact photometers PF‑12Plus, PF‑3 and spectrophotometers NANOCOLOR Advance, VIS II and NANOCOLOR UV/VIS II.
