Triton ICP-OES Lab Test

Professional Reef Water Analysis – 45 Parameters Tested

Take the guesswork out of reef keeping with the TRITON ICP-OES Water Test Kit — laboratory-grade water analysis designed to reveal what home test kits simply can’t detect.

While standard hobby tests monitor basic parameters like alkalinity, calcium and magnesium, TRITON’s advanced ICP-OES (Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry) technology analyses 45 major, trace and contaminant elements with parts-per-billion precision.

This comprehensive testing helps identify hidden imbalances, trace element deficiencies, and unwanted heavy metals that may be affecting coral colour, growth and overall system stability long before visible problems appear.
