Aquascaping: The Art and Science of Aquariums
Creating realistic nature aquariums is known as aquascaping. Not only does aquascaping utilise nature and art, but biology and water chemistry as well.
Using the Backpack Lab™ Water Quality Test Kit in Education
pH, conductivity, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, phosphate, acidity, alkalinity, carbon dioxide, hardness, and nitrate are important for monitoring water quality. The Water Quality Backpack Lab contained all of the tests kits and instrumentation required to test ten of the most important water quality parameters.
Using the Hanna Backpack Lab Soil Quality Educational Test Kit in Teaching Environmental Science
The importance of soil in our ecosystem The word Soil has many definitions. By traditional definition, soil is the natural growing medium for the growth and development of plants. Soil is the thin outer layer covering the land surface area of the earth, which consists of layers, also known as soil horizons. Soil is the…

What Type of pH Calibration Solution Should You Use?
pH calibration solutions, also called pH buffers, are an essential tool when measuring pH with a pH meter and electrode. While some users will try to make their own solutions to save money, these homemade buffers are not accurate or stable, and in the end, they will waste time and interfere with the accuracy of your results. A professionally made pH…
The Complete Guide to Measuring Turbidity in Water
Turbidity is one of the most common and intuitive qualities of water. The first thing we notice about water is how cloudy it is (or isn’t). However, behind the cloudiness lies some important implications. Turbidity can affect everything from how water is disinfected to the quality of our lakes, oceans, and streams. In this guide,…
Guide to Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) Testing
Chemical oxygen demand (COD) is a critical waste treatment measurement in everything from municipal systems to food manufacturing waste streams. Performing COD testing the right way is important in determining wastewater treatment effectiveness and can help diagnose any problems in treatment. In this blog, we’ll cover what chemical oxygen demand is, how to test it, and how…
Which Kind of Automatic Titrator is Best for You?
Titration is a chemical analysis technique used in many different industries, from dairy farms to metal plating shops and more. Manual titrations are simple, but they are time-consuming and not always accurate or consistent. Automatic titration methods can ease these pains by providing consistent results in an easier and more efficient way. There are many different automatic titrator options.…
