PPAs Utilize Chemkey Technology

The SL250/1000 utilizes Hach's patented Chemkey reagents. Chemkey has revolutionized the way colorimetric testing is offered—a simple, accurate, and safe alternative to traditional powder or liquid reagents.

Chemkey reagents mitigate errors that can occur when using traditional powder or liquid chemistries.
