LABOKLIN Service ID: 1483
| Material | 500 ml water (cooled, if possible) + swab with medium (e.g. gills, wounds), tissue |
| Parameter | pH, total hardness (fresh water), conductivity (saltwater), carbonate hardness
nitrate, nitrite, phosphate, copper, ammonium
bacteriology (aerobic) |
| Duration | 2 - 7 days |
| Remark | - Please indicate whether the sample is freshwater or saltwater.
- Determination of the essential chemical water parameters of an aquarium/pond.
- For clarification of intoxications, differential diagnosis if infectious
fish diseases are suspected or for setting ideal husbandry/breeding conditions.
- Assessment of the acid-base balance (e.g. pH, carbonate hardness), the organic load of the water (e.g. ammonium, nitrite, nitrate) and the purification capacity of the filter.
- Determination of phosphate and copper is indicated in case of algae problems or suspected copper intoxication, especially in invertebrates.
