• Reagent blank values printed on analyzer reagent containers vary because the reagents’ dilutions vary according to instrument.
For this method, use the 1234D analyzer reagent blank value for a 3.78 L volume of Molybdate 3 Reagent (Cat. No. 1995-17).
For a Series 5000, 2.9 L volume of Molybdate 3 Reagent (Cat. No. 1995-03), multiply the reagent blank on the label by 1.09.
For 100-mL Molybdate 3 Reagent (Cat. No. 1995-32) and 1 L Molybdate 3 Reagent (Cat. No. 1995-53), use the lab blank values
on the bottle labels.
• The four-minute reaction time in step 11 is for samples at 20 °C; for samples at 10 °C, wait eight minutes;
for samples at 30 °C, wait two minutes.
• The one-minute reaction time in step 13 is for samples at 20 °C; for samples at 10 °C, wait two minutes;
for samples at 30 °C, wait 30 seconds.
• See Reagent Preparation on page 4 for instructions on preparing the Amino Acid F Reagent.
• Clean labware carefully. See Labware on page 4.
• Install the Pour-Thru Cell into the adapter so that the long pathlength (1-in./25-mm) is parallel to the front of the instrument.
