Instructions for Use
Analytical Methodu>Iodometric Titration: In acid conditions, sulphite ions are oxidised by iodine. The titration endpoint is indicated by an excess of iodine causing a colour change from colourless to blue (starch indicator).
Number of Tests50 – 80
InterferencesStrongly alkaline water samples have to be neutralised before testing. Reducing agents other than sulphite (e.g. ascorbic acid) will give positive results.
Measuring RangeThe recommended measuring range is 4 to 40 mg/L (2 – 20 drops @ 2 mg/L) for 5 mL of sample volume. This range can be extended by taking a smaller or larger water sample. For a 2.5 mL sample the measuring range is 8 to 80 mg/L and for a 10 mL sample the range is 2 to 20 mg/L.
Shelf Life2 years
ApplicationsDetermination and monitoring of sulphite levels in food and wine as a preservative, in industrial water treatment (boiler feed water).
