Produkt overview
The YSI 251398Y DPD Free Chlorine Reagent Powder is designed for accurate measurement of free chlorine in water samples using a compatible colorimeter. Each pack contains 100 individual powder packs, with each pack formulated for a 5ml sample volume and capable of measuring free chlorine in the range of 0 to 3.5 mg/L.
This reagent utilizes the DPD (N,N-Diethyl-p-phenylenediamine) method, which reacts with free chlorine to produce a magenta color, the intensity of which is proportional to the chlorine concentration and measured by a colorimeter.
Sikkerhetsinformasjon
Always handle chemical reagents with care. Read the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for this product before use. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses and gloves, when handling the reagent powder. Avoid ingestion and contact with skin or eyes. In case of contact, rinse thoroughly with water and seek medical attention if irritation persists.
Oppsett og forberedelse
Before beginning any measurements, ensure you have the following:
- YSI 251398Y DPD Free Chlorine Reagent Powder pack
- Compatible colorimeter or spectrophotometer
- Rengjør sample cells/vials
- Deionized or distilled water for blanks and dilutions (if necessary)
- Vann sample to be tested
- Timer
Forberedelsestrinn:
- Ensure all glassware and sample cells are clean and free from contamination. Rinse with deionized water before use.
- Calibrate your colorimeter according to its specific instruction manual before use.
Bruksanvisning
Follow these steps to accurately measure free chlorine using the YSI 251398Y DPD Free Chlorine Reagent Powder:
- Sample samling: Collect a fresh water sample in a clean sample cell. The required volume is 5ml. Ensure the sample is representative of the water being tested.
- Add Reagent: Carefully tear open one YSI 251398Y DPD Free Chlorine Reagent Powder pack. Add the entire contents of the powder pack to the 5ml water sample i sample celle.
- Blande: Sett lokk på sample cell and invert several times to thoroughly mix the reagent with the sample. Ensure all powder dissolves completely. A magenta color will develop if free chlorine is present.
- Reaksjonstid: Allow a reaction time of 1 minute for the color to fully develop. Do not exceed 6 minutes, as color fading may occur, leading to inaccurate results.
- Mål: Sett inn den forberedteample cell into your calibrated colorimeter. Follow your colorimeter's instructions to initiate the measurement. The colorimeter will display the free chlorine concentration in mg/L.
- Rekordresultater: Record the measured free chlorine concentration.

Vedlikehold og lagring
Proper storage and handling are crucial for maintaining the integrity and effectiveness of the reagent powder:
- Lagring: Store the reagent powder packs in their original packaging in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Do not store near strong acids or bases.
- Holdbarhet: Refer to the expiration date printed on the packaging. Do not use expired reagents, as they may yield inaccurate results.
- Avhending: Dispose of used reagent and sample solutions according to local environmental regulations. Consult your local authorities for proper chemical waste disposal procedures.
- Renslighet: Always ensure sample cells and equipment are thoroughly cleaned after each use to prevent cross-contamination.
Feilsøking
If you encounter issues during testing, consider the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Mulig årsak | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| No color development | No free chlorine present; Expired reagent; Incorrect sampvolumet. | Verify sample contains chlorine; Check reagent expiration date; Ensure 5ml sampvolumet. |
| Fading color or inaccurate reading | Reaction time exceeded; Contaminated sample cell; Turbidity in sample. | Adhere strictly to 1-minute reaction time; Clean sample cells thoroughly; Filter turbid samples om nødvendig. |
| Inkonsekvente resultater | Improper mixing; Temperature variations; Colorimeter not calibrated. | Ensure complete dissolution of powder; Perform tests at consistent temperatures; Recalibrate colorimeter. |
