HI782-25 Hanna Nitrate Reagents — 25 Tests for Checker HC HI782 - Hanna

Hanna HI782-25 nitrate reagents — 25 tests for the Hanna Checker HC HI782

The Hanna HI782-25 reagents are the dedicated reagents for the Checker HC HI782, a Hanna Instruments pocket colorimeter that measures nitrate in reef marine aquariums. Each box holds 25 individual tests, one per measurement. The formula is calibrated to the LED and the chemistry of the Checker HC HI782 — using a reagent from a different model gives wrong and meaningless readings.

In practical use, this reagent pack lets you track NO₃ on FOWLR or mid-nutrient reef tanks where nitrate sits above 5 ppm.

What these reagents bring

• Zinc reduction method (single reagent) — the same chemistry used in the lab and calibrated to the Checker HC HI782 LED.
• 25 tests per box — enough for 2 to 6 months of monitoring depending on frequency.
• Genuine Hanna formulation, made in the same conditions used at the factory to calibrate the colorimeter.
• Pre-measured sachets — no scale or pipette needed.
• Reproducible readings when procedure is followed (rinsing, timing, agitation).

Measurement procedure

• Rinse the cuvette with RO water, then with sample water.
• Fill to the mark, insert the cuvette and press Zero.
• Add the contents of one HI782-25 sachet and agitate for the time specified in the Hanna datasheet.
• Reinsert the cuvette and press Read — the reading appears on the digital display.
• Rinse the cuvette immediately with distilled water to prevent residue.

Why get these reagents from ReefSolution

• Hanna Checker HC HI782 — the matched colorimeter for these reagents; always use fresh reagents to preserve instrument accuracy.
• Hanna Checker HC HI772 dKH alkalinity — the reef parameter that shifts fastest; measure twice a week on an SPS tank.
• Hanna Checker HC HI758 marine calcium — completes the reef Ca/KH/Mg trinity.
• Hanna Checker HC HI783 marine magnesium — measure every 2-4 weeks.
• Hanna HI98319 waterproof salinity tester — salinity in ppt/PSU/SG with temperature compensation.

Frequently asked questions

How many tests are in a box of Hanna HI782-25 reagents?

25 individual tests — one reading per Hanna Checker HC HI782 measurement. That typically covers 2 to 6 months of tank monitoring.

Can I use Hanna HI782-25 reagents with a different Checker model?

No. Each reagent reference is calibrated to the LED and chemistry of its matched Checker HC. Using another model's reagent produces wrong readings.

How should Hanna reagents be stored to preserve accuracy?

Store dry, at room temperature, out of direct sunlight. Do not open the sachets in advance — the chemistry degrades on contact with humidity.
