Test
Add 4 drops of MCA-2
and mix.
Reaction time:
10 minutes
Transfer the solution into
a corresponding cell.
Select method with
AutoSelector.
Place the cell into the
cell compartment.
Pipette 10 ml of the
sample into a test tube.
Add 0.60 ml of MCA-1
with pipette and mix.
Reaction time:
5 minutes
Quality assurance:
To check the measurement system (test reagents,
measurement device, and handling) a standard solution
m
ust be prepared (see section “Standard solutions”).
Check the pH of the
sample, specified range:
pH 4 – 13.
If required, add dilute
sodium hydroxide
solution or sulfuric acid
drop by drop to adjust
the pH.
Important:
Very high monochloramine concentrations in the sample
produce turquoise-colored solutions (measurement so-lu-
tion should be yellow-g
reen to green) and false-low
readings are yielded. In such cases the sample must be
diluted (plausibility check).
