Osumex Heavy Metals Test (HMT) - Mercury Kit
Monitor your body or environment for the presence of toxic mercury
The HMT Mercury kit was developed for Osumex as a simple to use at home test kit for the presence of mercury. It uses chemical reagents that will cause a colour change in the sample solution if mercury is present.
The chemicals used pose no danger to the user if contact is made. However, as with most chemical substances, if contact is made with the eye or mouth, the user is to wash the eye and or rinse the mouth with water and then to immediately contact the user's doctor or professional health care provider.
The HMT Mercury kit is suitable for testing any clear liquid medium such as saliva, urine, tap water, ground water, breast milk, etc. Other substances such as fish, soil, paint, etc can also be tested and if you wish to do that, please contact us and we can provide clear instructions on how to prepare the sample for testing.
Contents of the HMT Mercury kit :
- 1 Colour strip on box of the kit
- 1 Large test tube
- 1 vial with clear cap - reagent 1
- 1 vial with blue cap - reagent 2
- 1 vial with reddish brown substance - reagent 3
Prepare the reagent solution for testing
- Remove the the 3 small vials from the large test tube
- In the empty large test-tube, add 6 ml. of the solution to be tested
- Add the colourless liquid from the blue cap vial (reagent 2) to the solution to be tested in the large test tube ("combined solutions"). Turn the test large test tube gently up and down a few times (at least 3) to make sure that the 2 liquids are well mixed together
- Add the colourless liquid from the clear cap vial (reagent 1) to the reddish brown substance in the red cap vial (reagent 3). Close the cap of the red cap vial and shake until the reddish-brown substance has been mostly dissolved ("mixed solution"). This might take a little while
- The solutions are now ready for testing
Conducting the test
- Pour the "mixed solutions" (reagents 1 and 3) in the vial with the reddish brown substance into the large test-tube containing the "combined solutions" (reagent 2 and solution to be tested)
- Allow combined solutions in the large test-tube to settle for 6 minutes - no shaking is required but you may have to tilt the test tube or "roll" it gently a few times to make sure the solutions are mixed well to obtain a true and accurate colour change
- Compare the colour of the combined solutions in the large test-tube to the colour strip provided. In case of comparison difficulties, try holding the test-tube against the colour strip just above liquid level of large test-tube. Move along the colour strip until colour of solution matches with that of the colour strip
- The number on the colour strip indicates the concentration of mercury ions present in the solution in ppm
- If the concentration of the mercury ions is higher than 2 ppm the solution will change into a strong pink colour after a period of time
- If the concentration is extremely low or no mercury ions are present, the colour of the solution will clear and become almost colourless after a period of time. However, when saliva is tested and there are strong digestive enzymes present, these digestive enzymes may affect the final colour. Instead of becoming colourless, the solution may turn into a different colour (such as green)
Reading the results of the test
The numbers indicate presence of mercury in "parts per million" (ppm)
Test Interference:
The test results can be affected by the presence of ions from gold, silver, palladium, rhodium, platinum, iridium, ruthenium ("noble metals") as well as tin.
