Description

The Macherey-Nagel Visocolor ECO Phosphate Water Test is a colourimetric water test for determining the phosphate content of a water sample. Phosphate is one of the most important water plant nutrients and should therefore always be present in sufficient quantities in the water. The test measures PO₄-P, which can then be calculated to PO₄ with the included table.

Together with phosphate ions, ammonium molybdate forms phosphorous molybdenum acid. This is reduced to molybdenum blue (reaction basis in analogy to DIN EN ISO 6878-D11).
