SIGNIFICANCE AND USESIGNIFICANCE 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. Corrosion of copper
alloys in pipe fittings on the other hand 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.
READ THE ENTIRE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE KIT
• Fill one color comparator cube with 5 mL of the sample
(to the mark).
• Add 1 packet of HI 3847-0, replace the cap and shake
well.
• Wait 45 seconds to allow color to develop.
• Determine which color matches the solution in the vessel
and record the result in mg/L (or ppm) of Copper.
Note: To measure Copper in the 0-0.25 ppm range, use
the HI 3856 Copper Ultra Low Range Test Kit.
