The OMMICA THPS analysis kit consists of a simple, highly accurate, portable colourimetric test to determine THPS in aqueous systems. 

Accuracy is gained by addition of accurately measured reagents to a sample. This is then reacted at a specific time and temperature, to control the reaction and the resultant colour gives the level of THPS.

Absorbance of the reacted sample colour is measured using a colourimeter to give an accuracy of +/- 1ppm.

The analysis has been developed to be as accurate as HPLC, but allow on-site testing to take place in the field or offshore, through use of portable equipment.

Pro/con
