Interferences
Sample Collection, Storage, and Preservation
Collect samples in clean plastic or glass bottles.
5. Pipet 5.0 mL of
Sodium Carbonate
Solution into each cell.
Swirl to mix.
A blue color will develop
if tannins and/or lignins
are present.
6. Touch the timer icon.
Touch
OK.
A 25-minute reaction
period will begin.
7. When the timer
beeps, place the blank
into the cell holder.
8. Touch Zero.
The display will show:
0.0 mg/L Tannins
(as Tannic Acid)
9. Place the prepared
sample into the cell
holder.
10. Touch Read.
Results will appear in
mg/L Tannins.
Interfering Substance Interference Levels and Treatments
Ferrous iron
Causes a positive interference. (2 mg/L of ferrous iron produces a color equivalent to about
1 mg/L of tannic acid.) To eliminate interference of ferrous iron up to 20 mg/L, add one 0.2 g
scoop of Sodium Pyrophosphate (Cat. No. 14295-25) to the sample before testing.
Sulfite
Interference is eliminated by adding 1 mL of formaldehyde (Cat. No. 2059-32) to the sample
before testing the sample.
