Introduction
Product Definition
C05 Calcium-Magnesium Reagent (10ml) is a chemical reagent designed for rapid detection of calcium and magnesium ions in water samples, suitable for simple water quality screening of household drinking water and water purifier output. The reagent uses a threshold of 4mg/L as the judgment cutoff to help users gain a preliminary understanding of the calcium and magnesium ion content in water.
Product Features
- Simple operation: No professional equipment required; add reagent drops according to the instructions and observe the result.
- Rapid testing: Color change can be observed within a short time for intuitive judgment.
- Compact and portable: Bottle height 6cm, diameter 2cm, weight only 8.9g, easy to store and carry.
- Economical and practical: A 10ml bottle provides approximately 100 tests (the actual number depends on the sample volume used each time).
- Scenario adaptability: Specifically designed for routine water quality testing of drinking water and water purifier output.

FAQ
Q: Can the C05 Calcium-Magnesium Reagent measure accurate calcium and magnesium ion concentrations?
A: No. The reagent uses a color-threshold method with 4mg/L as the cutoff to determine whether calcium and magnesium ions in the water sample are above or below this threshold. It is a semi-quantitative or qualitative test and does not provide precise concentration values.
Q: What should be noted during testing?
A: Follow the instruction manual and use a clean sampling container. Observe the color change within the specified time after adding the reagent. Avoid contact of the reagent with skin and eyes; if accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with clean water immediately.
Q: Why is the number of tests not fixed at 100?
A: Because the volume of the water sample used for each test affects reagent consumption. Typically, approximately 0.1ml of reagent is used per test, but if the number of drops is adjusted according to different sample volumes, the total number of tests will vary.
Q: Can this reagent be used for testing seawater or industrial wastewater?
A: Not recommended. The product is designed for drinking water and water purifier output. Other complex water matrices may interfere with the results, and suitability cannot be guaranteed.
Related Terms
- Calcium and magnesium ions: Calcium and magnesium ions dissolved in water; the primary components used to measure water hardness.
- Threshold: The judgment cutoff set for this product, i.e., 4mg/L; values below this level are considered acceptable/no significant calcium-magnesium elevation, while values above this level indicate significant presence.
- Water hardness: Generally refers to the total concentration of calcium and magnesium ions in water. This reagent is used for a simple assessment of hardness levels.
- Sample volume: The volume of the water sample taken for each test. Different volumes affect the number of reagent drops required, thereby influencing the total number of tests possible.
