Testing water quality indicators is inseparable from the application of various consumables. Common consumable forms can be divided into three types: solid consumables, liquid consumables, and reagent vials consumables. How do we make the best choice when faced with specific needs? The following takes Lianhua Technology-related consumables as an example to deeply analyze the characteristics, advantages and applicable scenarios of each form of consumables. I hope it will be helpful to everyone’s decision-making.
Solid consumables: stable and easy to store, but careful configuration is required. Compared with liquid consumables and reagent vials consumables, the most significant advantage of solid consumables is that they are single and stable in form, have a long shelf life and are easy to store, and are more affordable than liquid consumables and reagent vials consumables. However, in actual use, since solid consumables need to be configured before they can be used, there are some things that we need to pay attention to.
For example, some consumables, such as COD and total phosphorus solid consumables, need to use analytically pure sulfuric acid when dispensing them. Sulfuric acid, as the third category of precursor chemicals, is subject to the “Regulations on the Safety Management of Hazardous Chemicals” and the “Regulations on the Management of Precursor Chemicals” Under the control of the public security department, company purchases also need to apply for registration and related qualifications. During the configuration process, experimental personnel also need to use hazardous chemicals, and professional operations are required to ensure safety.
Therefore, when customers purchase solid consumables such as COD and total phosphorus, our sales staff will inform the customer whether they have the qualifications to purchase and store sulfuric acid. If not, they cannot use it and recommend that they purchase our liquid consumables.
Liquid consumables: a cost-effective choice, efficient and safe. Liquid consumables are pre-configured by the manufacturer. Customers can directly measure and use them after purchase. They have the characteristics of ready-to-use, stable performance, safety and environmental protection. Compared with solid consumables, liquid consumables solve the unstable factors in the user configuration process and prevent users from unqualified consumable configuration due to unqualified raw materials such as sulfuric acid or pure water, or unqualified consumable configuration caused by environment or operation.
Take Lianhua Technology’s best-selling COD, ammonia nitrogen, total phosphorus, and total nitrogen liquid consumables as an example. We have a consumables production base in Suyin Industrial Park, Yinchuan City, with automated consumables production lines. During the production process, raw materials and configuration processes have been strictly controlled. Quality control: products can only leave the factory after passing the inspection to ensure the accuracy of the proportion of liquid consumables and the stability of performance. In addition, due to the characteristics of industrial automated production, labor cost investment is greatly saved in the production process, which not only ensures the performance advantages of liquid consumables, but also has a price advantage.
For customers, the use of liquid consumables can not only ensure the accuracy and repeatability of experimental results, but also simplify the workflow of experimental personnel, reduce corporate labor costs, and are highly cost-effective.
Reagent vials consumables: extremely convenient, the first choice for outdoor testing
Reagent vials consumables are the pinnacle of convenience. Compared with solid consumables and liquid consumables, reagent vials consumables include all their advantages and completely eliminate the process of configuration and measurement. Users only need to add water samples according to the operation process. Carry out follow-up inspection work. Reagent vials consumables can significantly reduce the direct contact between experimenters and potentially hazardous chemicals, reduce occupational health risks, and greatly simplify the operating process. This ultimate convenience makes reagent vials consumables suitable for outdoor emergency testing or scenarios that do not require professional operators. China shines brightly.
After comprehensively considering the actual application needs, we tend to recommend liquid consumables as the first choice for most water quality testing laboratories. It not only provides the convenience of buying and using, but also combines cost-effectiveness and accuracy. At the same time, liquid consumables also perform well in ensuring the safety of experimental personnel and reducing waste liquid output, which are in line with the modern laboratory’s pursuit of efficiency, safety, and environmental protection. Of course, for specific scenarios such as outdoor emergency detection, reagent vials consumables are also an option worth considering.
