Step-by-Step Testing Procedure

To ensure accurate results, follow these steps:

Required Equipment

Colorimetric Determination with Color Chart

Sample Preparation: Using the plastic syringe, pour a 5 mL water sample into each of the two measuring glasses. Place one measuring glass (A) in the comparator without adding reagents.

Reagent Addition:

Add 5 drops of Cu-1 to the second measuring glass (B), seal it, and mix well.

Add 5 drops of Cu-2 to the same glass, seal it, and mix well.

Reaction Time: Wait for 10 minutes, then open the glass (B) and place it in position B of the comparator.

Color Comparison: Slide the comparator until the colors match in the inspection hole on top. Read the measurement result from the recess on the comparator reed. Mid-values can be estimated.

Post-Test Care: After use, rinse both measuring glasses thoroughly and seal them.

Photometric Determination

For those using photometric evaluation, follow the separate instructions provided for photometric performance. The reagents are compatible with compact photometers for more precise and quantitative results.
