Summary of Method
FerroMo Iron Reagent 1 contains a reducing agent combined with a masking
agent. The masking agent eliminates interference from high levels of molybdate.
The reducing agent converts precipitated or suspended iron, such as rust, to the
ferrous state. FerroMo Iron Reagent 2 contains the indicator combined with a
buffering agent. The indicator reacts with ferrous iron in the sample, buffered
between pH 3 and 5, resulting in a deep blue-purple color. Test results are
measured at 590 nm.
