Some news from the Lab.
Farmers, don't be left confused about soil testing. We can suggest suitable testing options and can organise sampling if required. We now outsource most testing so we can concentrate on explaining and interpreting your results. Our aim is to make sure you get value from your test results. See the range of soil tests and agricultural services at Soil testing. Baseline figures taken along with some understanding of soil processes can help show how fertility can be improved or in many cases how the 'natural capital' of the soil can be unlocked. See some of our project work at Dairy farm pasture investigation. Don't wait till your tank water turns green with a less than desirable smell! The starting point for water testing is the Apps Laboratories Basic water quality test. This test is recommended for drinking water, food and beverage processing and process water. It tests around 9 factors critical for understanding management and treatment needs. Add the Bacteria water quality test for a complete profile of water quality. These tests are suitable for tanks, springs, dams, creeks and even reticulated supplies. See details for these tests under "Water testing" on the menu. Instructions for sampling can be seen on the "How to order" link. Sanitation and disinfection test strips help ensure product safety and reduced contamination potential. Popular Clean-In-Place CIP sanitizers such as peracetic acid PAA can be tested at high and low ranges. Test strips that measure both free and total chlorine are essential if water contains any nitrogen compounds. They will show if the amount of effective or free chlorine is adequate and will also show if any added chlorine is being converted to a less effective form.More news from the Lab - How to get a water test, Easy bacteria tests in the classroom. |

not all salts are equal. Read more. Measurements - which way?. With the large variety of test kits and meters available from the major suppliers it's hard to know which way to turn if you want to do some of your own testing.
