Note to our customers doing the Reams’ test: this kit has all the chemicals & labware needed for urea testing & also includes pH color indicating solutions. For the other numbers in Reams’ equation, you need a refractometer & a conductivity meter. Because of the small sample sizes when testing saliva we recommend the LAQUAtwin pH meter. A pH meter can provide better accuracy than the included pH indicators or pH tape.
CAUTION: These tests involve hazardous materials and require laboratory expertise; anyone buying this kit should obtain proper instructions by attending a course or studying a book on this subject such as Biologic Ionization as Applied to Human Nutrition by A. Beddoe.
Additionally, the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) can be found here for the Nitrate Test Solution and Ammonia Nitrogen Test Solution. Please familiarize yourself with the proper handling and safety hazards involved with these items prior to ordering.
