• Add 1 packet
of HI 3856-0
reagent.
• Replace the cap and mix by
inverting the cube several times.
• Wait 45 seconds to allow color to
develop.
• Add 1 packet of HI 93702-0, replace
the cap and shake well.
• Wait 45 seconds to
allow color to develop.
• Determine which color matches the solution in the vessel.
Multiply the result by 2.4 to obtain mg/L (or ppm) of
Copper in the sample.
• It is better to match the color with a white sheet placed
at about 10 cm (4") behind the comparator.

• 1 plastic pipette (3 mL).
Note: Any damaged or defective item must be returned in
its original packing materials.
SIGNIFICANCE AND USESIGNIFICANCE AND USE
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
SIGNIFICANCE AND USESIGNIFICANCE AND USE
Copper is an essential trace element in human diet (the
daily requirement is around 2.0 mg) and a factor in plant
metabolism. Copper salts are used in water supply systems
to control biological growth in reservoirs. High concentrations
on the other hand are toxic and corrosion of copper alloys in
pipe fittings may introduce considerable quantities into the
water supplies.
Note: mg/L is equivalent to ppm (parts per million).
CHEMICAL REACTIONCHEMICAL REACTION
CHEMICAL REACTION
CHEMICAL REACTIONCHEMICAL REACTION
Copper salts react with bicinchoninate reagent to form a
purple product in a neutral buffered condition. The amount
of color developed is proportional to the concentration of
copper present in the aqueous sample.

• To measure copper in the 0-0.25 range, fill the long
path comparator cube with sample up to the 25 mL
mark.

• Determine which
color best matches
the solution in the
cube and read
the result directly
in mg/L (ppm) of
Copper.
• It is better to
match the color
with a white
sheet placed at
about 10 cm (4") behind the comparator.
• To measure copper in the 0-6.0
range, use the pipette to fill the
plastic test tube with 2.5 mL of
sample, up to the mark.
• Add 3.5 mL of
Deionized Water to
reach the 6 mL
mark. Replace the
cap and swirl to
mix. This is the
diluted sample.
• Pour then 5 mL of the diluted sample from the tube
to the color cube (up to the
mark).
