| Product Overview |
The Portable Drinking Water Test Kit Laboratory is a compact field laboratory designed to bring essential water-quality testing capabilities directly to the sampling location. Instead of transporting every sample to a centralized laboratory, operators can perform selected chemical and microbiological screening procedures on site.
The reference configuration is based on the professional concept of a portable drinking-water laboratory and combines a portable incubator, pH and TDS testers, microbiological equipment, glassware, reagents and field-testing accessories in an organized transportable system. Hach's MEL/P-A Safe Drinking Water Lab is designed to monitor key water-quality parameters together with Total Coliforms and E. coli using a presence-absence method. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
For SHEWUYOU projects, the laboratory configuration can be adapted according to the intended application, water source, monitoring program, local climate, farm conditions and procurement requirements. The system is suitable for commercial pig farms, livestock production sites, aquaculture projects, agricultural water systems, engineering contractors and decentralized drinking-water monitoring. |

| Working Principle / Structural Principle |
The portable laboratory combines several independent water-analysis methods within one field-ready system. The exact analytical principle depends on the parameter being tested.
Chemical Testing: Selected parameters can be determined using colorimetric or reagent-based methods. For example, chlorine and nitrate in the reference laboratory are determined using visual color-disc comparator methods. The prepared sample develops a characteristic color that is compared with a calibrated reference scale. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
Electrochemical Screening: Portable pH and TDS testers use dedicated sensors to provide direct field measurements of the corresponding water properties. The reference laboratory specifically includes portable pH and TDS testers. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
Microbiological Testing: Where the selected method requires incubation, prepared microbiological samples are placed in the portable incubator under the specified test conditions. The reference MEL/P-A system supports Total Coliform and E. coli testing using a presence-absence approach, with microbiological media ordered separately. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
This modular structure allows the laboratory to be used as a field screening platform rather than as a fixed laboratory installation. The final analytical methods should be selected according to the target parameters, applicable standards and project requirements. |

| Installation & Maintenance |
The portable laboratory requires no permanent installation. The equipment case can be transported to the required sampling location, opened on a stable work surface and configured according to the selected test procedure.
Before operation, inspect the carrying case, portable incubator, meters, comparator, glassware, sample containers and reagents. Verify reagent condition and expiry information, and ensure that measurement instruments are ready for use according to their respective operating instructions.
Collect representative water samples using clean sampling equipment. Chemical tests should follow the specified reagent dosage, mixing time, reaction time and result-reading procedure. For color-disc methods, the reacted sample is compared against the applicable calibrated reference scale.
For microbiological testing, use appropriate sterile sampling procedures and follow the selected method for sample preparation, incubation and interpretation. The reference MEL/P-A system uses a portable incubator for field determination of total and fecal coliforms, while microbiological media are supplied separately. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
Keep pH and TDS testers clean and maintain their sensors according to the applicable instrument instructions. Reusable glassware and viewing tubes should be rinsed appropriately after testing and protected from contamination.
Store reagents under their specified conditions. Where hazardous reagents are used, review the applicable Safety Data Sheet and follow local requirements for handling, transportation and disposal. The referenced Hach product specifically carries a hazardous-material notice and identifies mercury-related disposal requirements. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
