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 widely 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).

READ THE ENTIRE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE KIT

• Fill the long path comparator cube with the sample to
the 25 mL mark.

• Add 1 packet of HI 3856-0 reagent.

• Determine which color best matches
the solution in the cube and record
the result as mg/L (ppm) of Copper.

• It is better to match the color with a white sheet at
about 10 cm behind the comparator.

Note: To measure Copper in the 0-2.5 ppm range, use the

HI 3847 Copper Test Kit.

CHEMICAL REACTIONCHEMICAL REACTION

CHEMICAL REACTION

CHEMICAL REACTIONCHEMICAL REACTION

Copper salts react with bicinchoninate reagent to form a
purple product in neutral buffered condition. The amount of
color developed is proportional to the concentration of copper
present in the aqueous sample.
