The portable laboratory AMOLA® AGRAR MOBILE LABORATORY contains all the reagents, instruments and accessories needed to easily, quickly and reliably determine the content of readily soluble essential plant nutrients - nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (NPK) - in the laboratory and in the field. It is used in agriculture, horticulture, tree nurseries and composting plants.

The laboratory is also used by consultants and other crop service providers After sampling, soil ammonium NH4, nitrate NO3, potassium K and phosphate PO4 by extraction, they are transferred into the aqueous phase, after which a specific indicator is added to them. The intensity of the color gives information about the amount of certain soil components.

The AMOLA® device enables an objective determination of the color intensity. After entering the type of sample (for example, mineral soil, substrate, water) and the soil component of interest, the result is displayed in units that are relevant for practical use. Results for mineral soils are displayed in kg / ha (kilograms per hectare) or mg / kg (milligrams per kilogram), and for horticultural substrates and water in mg / l (milligrams per liter)

  • Ammonium can be eliminated as NH4 and NH4-N, and nitrates as NO3 and NO3 -N.
  • Total nitrogen is defined as the sum of ammonium and nitrate nitrogen (NH4-N + NO3-N).
  • Phosphates are calculated as PO4, PO4-P, or P2O5, and potassium as K or K2O.

The accompanying pictogram guide provides a detailed description of the selection procedure and sample preparation, extraction and processing of results.
