Episode Synopsis

Send us a textIn this episode, the Inorganic Ventures team continues their overview of SEAL-compatible Discrete Analyzer Reagents—this time focusing on four essential nutrient and anion methods: chloride, sulfate, phosphate, and ammonia.Ashley Jones and Liv Forbes break down the key reactions behind each method, including:The iron thiocyanate reaction for chlorideTurbidimetric analysis of sulfate via barium sulfate formationThe molybdenum blue reaction for phosphateA safer variant of the Berthelot reaction for ammoniaThey also share storage tips, instrument compatibility notes, and how to adapt these reagents for non-SEAL platforms.
