INTRODUCTION

This test kit uses a unique ﬁ ltration procedure for determining if there is an

unacceptable level of algae in water. The algae cells are ﬁ ltered out of the water by

means of a syringe with ﬁ lter attachment. A yellow-green color on the glass ﬁ ber

ﬁ lter indicates algae may be present, since minerals which may also cause coloration

of the water will not be trapped on the ﬁ lter. The algae collected on the ﬁ lter is then

subjected to an alcolhol extraction procedure. A yellow to green color in the extract

solution indicates an unacceptable level of algae in the water.

WARNING! This set contains chemicals

that may be harmful if misued. Read

cautions on individual containers

carefully. Not to be used by children

except under adult supervision.
