TEST KIT CONTENTS: A kit contains 30 test ampoules, 1 sample cup and 1 color standard chart. When the 30 tests have been used, no replacement components are required, just order a new kit.
TEST KIT OPERATION STEPS:
  1. Using the water to be tested, rinse the Sample/Snapping Cup 3 times and then fill with aqueous sample.

  2. Place an IME.Test™ Ampoule tip down into one of the holes in the bottom of the filled Sample/Snapping Cup and pull back on the top to break the ampoule tip (see Step 1 on the other side of this sheet). The IME.Test™ Ampoule will automatically fill with the aqueous sample.

  3. Gently rock the filled IME.Test™ Ampoule back and forth for 30 seconds (longer if the sample is cold water) to mix the test reagent. After mixing, place IME.Test™ Ampoule in a 86 to 95 (F) degree environment (I/A 2000, warm room or radiator). Periodically compare the ampoule color to the color card to determine end of test and test results. Or, select a control limit and look once at the IME.Test™ Ampoule.

WHAT IF: The Sample color is BLUE at the test start?
- The sample water has a high Dissolved Oxygen level. The initial sample color is not Blue or Green at the start? - The sample has a color to it or if clear, the sample is anaerobic at the start of test. There is both Sulafte Reducing and Sulfur Oxidizing present. - The results chart lists the value for the combined level of both species.
USING as SAMPLER: If the IME.Test™ Ampoule is kept at a cool temperature, Biological growth will be delayed until the sample is brought to a proper incubation temperature. This feature can be used to take a sample at site and forward a proper sample to a lab. Or, if an abnormal field result is observed, the IME.TestTM Ampoule contents can be used for additional analysis (Biological or Chemical).
