4. viva «Method»
4.1. Method run
viva software includes three method templates for CVS
analysis with an automated system.
• Brightener determination (CVS, MLAT), automated
• Conditioning (Cu VMS), automated
• Suppressor determination (CVS, DT), automated
The templates already establish t h e bas ic s eq u e nc es fo r the
different applications, the use of 800 Dosinos for automatic
dosing as well as the calculation of the result and the
application of a sample changer and pumps to process a
sample series. However certain commands and settings
have to be adapted to the used hardware and the
requirements of the specific application.
For a step by step description please see the Tutorial
chapter «6.2 Methods for the automated determination».
The following commands have to be adapted:
4.1.1. Measuring commands
Such as
4.1.2. Dosing commands
Such as:
• Define the volume of solution that should be dosed
when this command is due.
Such as:
• Define the volume of solution that should be dosed
when this command is due.
• Assign the Dosing Unit that should be used to run this
command.
Such as:
• On the tab «General/Hardware» assign the 894
Professional CVS instrument to which the 800 Dosino is
connected.
4.1.3. Automation commands
Such as:
• Assign the 858 Professional Sample Processor that
should be used to run this command.
4.1.4. Transferring sample
This only applies for the brightener determination by MLAT!
To guarantee a complete transfer of the sample from the
sample vial on the rack of the 858 Professional Sample
Processor into the measuring vessel of the 894 Professional
CVS the peristaltic pump time has to be adjusted in
the TRACK
– PERISTALTIC PUMP in the command PUMP –
PERISTALTIC PUMP ON.
• Assign the 894 Professional CVS instrument to be used
on the tab «General/Hardware».
• Adapt the measuring parameters on the tabs «Pre-
treatment», «Sweep», «Post-treatment» and
«Potentiostat» according to the requirements of the
application. These parameters can be found in separate
application documentation.

4.1.5. Rinsing measuring vessel
After each sample the measuring vessel need to be rinsed
with deionized water. The rinsing and draining times depend
on the total volume used in the determination.
If the method templates are used, the rinsing and draining
times are defined in the corresponding PUMP
commands in
the TRACK –RINSE and TRACK – DRAIN. The number of
rinsing cycles is defined in the command LOOP – LOOP
RINSING in the TRACK – RINSING CYCLES.
Fig 11: Method snippet TRACK – RINSING CYCLE
Examples for rinsing and draining times:
Number of rinsing cycles 2 2
Draining time [s] 35 50
Rinsing time [s] 9 18
Please note! The device assigned to the commands PUMP
– PUMP RINSE und PUPM – PUMP DRAIN need to be the
858 Professional Sample Processor, since the 843 Pump
Station is connected to and controlled from the sample
changer.
4.1.6. Rinsing transfer tubing
This only applies for the brightener determination by MLAT!
After each sample the transfer tubing from the 858
Professional Sample Processor to the measuring vessel of
the 894 Profess ional CVS nee d to be rinse d with deioni zed
water. The rinsing solution is placed in a vial on the rack of
the 858 Professional Sample Processor. The position of the
rinsing solution relative to the sample position is defined in
the TRACK
command MOVE
– GO TO RINSING POSITION in the
– MOVE RINSING POSITION.
Fig 12: Method snippet TRACK – GO TO RINSING POSITION
The position of the rinsing solution is defined as «sa mple
position + 28». This means the outer circle on the rack
6.2041.450 is used for the sample the inner circle for the
rinsing solution
The transfer time for the rinsing solution corresponds to the
sample transfer time defined in the TRACK
PUMP
in the command PUMP – PERISTALTIC PUMP ON.
– PERISTALTIC
4.2. Evaluation
Settings regarding evaluation and documentation of the
determination are located in the «Evaluation» part of the
method. The templates already include all necessary
settings to determine brightener or suppressor concentration
in an acid copper bath. If modifications however should be
necessary, here is where important parameters are found:
4.2.1. Substances
In the «Substances» part settings for peak recognition and
baseline parameters are defined.
4.2.2. Standards
In the «Standards» part the concentration of the used
standard solution is defined.
4.2.3. Calibration
In the «Calibration» part the calibration method, such as DT
or MLAT, is defined as well as the regression type.

4.2.4. Results
In the «Results» part on the tab «Results» the substance is
selected for which the concentration should be calculated
and displayed.

sample type STANDARD. For a determination the sample
type S
AMPLE has to be selected.
• No «Sample amount» needs to be defined in the
sample table, since addition volumes for the standard
and the sample are defined in the method
commands ADD

6. Remarks
6.1. Single additive setup
If the system is only used for suppressor or brightener
determination the unused port at the T connector
(6.2744.290) has to be closed with a threaded stopper
(6.2744.060).
6.2. Combination of applications
The determination of suppressor by dilution titration (DT)
and the determination of brightener by modified linear
approximation technique (MLAT) can also be combined in
one series.
6.3. Storing dosing units
When the dosing units are not used (during the night, over
the weekend) the dosing cylinder has to be rinsed with
water. Otherwise elemental copper can be formed or
additives can precipitate between the valve disk and the
distributor disk or in the tubings. A blockage can damage
the 800 Dosino. Emptying the cylinder and filling it with
water is sufficient to prevent a blockage.
6.4. Storing electrodes
When the electrodes are not used (during the night, over the
weekend) the electrodes should be thoroughly rinsed.
Working and auxiliary electrode can either be stored in
deionized water or dry. The reference electrode should be
stored separately in a vial filled with deionized water (KCl
solution, in case KCl is used as bridge electrolyte), so that
the reference electrode immerses at least to the rim of the
electrolyte vessel.
6.5. Waste container
The waste container must not be closed completely. For
pressure balancing in the waste container, keep at least one
opening unsealed. Overpressure would lead to a
malfunction of the drain pump.
