PROCEDURE

NOTE: If sample water is cloudy, fi lter before testing.

1.0 - 10.0 ppm PHOSPHATE (PO4)

1. Fill a test tube (0106) to the 5 mL line with sample water.

2. Use the 1.0 mL pipet (0354) to add 1.0 mL of *VM Phosphate Reagent (4410).
Stopper and mix by inverting several times. Wait 5 minutes.

3. Use the plain pipet (0352) to add 3 drops of *Reducing Reagent (6405). Cap and
mix. Color will develop in 10 seconds.

(1101).

5. Insert test tube into the Octa-Slide 2 Viewer. Match sample color to a color stan­dard. Record as ppm Phosphate (PO

10 - 100 ppm PHOSPHATE (PO4): 1 to 10 DILUTION

).

4

1. Use the 0.5 mL pipet (0353) to add 0.5 mL of sample water to a test tube (0106).

2. Dilute to 5 mL line with phosphate-free (distilled) water.

3. Use the 1.0 mL pipet to add 1.0 mL of *VM Phosphate Reagent (4410). Cap and
mix by inverting several times. Wait 5 minutes.

4. Use the plain pipet (0352) to add 3 drops of *Reducing Reagent. Cap and mix.
Color will develop within 10 seconds.

5. Insert the Phosphate Octa-Slide 2 Bar (4414-01) into the Octa-Slide 2 Viewer
(1101)
