Methods
Pre-Concentration
Pre-concentration uses exactly the same procedure as interference removal, except a
greater volume of sample is used in step 1, instead of deionised/tap water.
For calculation of the original sample concentration a concentration factor should be
considered:
If a 50 ml sample is used the concentration factor is 20/50 = 0.4
If a 100 ml sample is used the concentration factor is 20/100 = 0.2
This can be extended as required in order to concentrate the polyacrylate/polymer suf-
ficiently for analysis.
Example:
If the reading is 20 mg/l and 50 ml are taken for pre-concentration the original concentra-
tion should be calculated as
20
*
0.4 = 8 mg/l.
Note:
Samples exceeding 10,000 TDS should be diluted prior to loading onto the cartridge. Take
this dilution into consideration when working out the overall concentration factor.
