þNOTES: For best possible results, a reagent blank should be determined to
account for any contribution to the test result by the reagent system. To
determine the reagent blank, follow the above test procedure to scan a
distilled or deionized water blank. Then follow the above procedure to
perform the test on a distilled or deionized water sample. This test result is
the reagent blank. Subtract the reagent blank from all subsequent test results
of unknown samples. It is necessary to determine the reagent blank only
when a new lot number of reagents are obtained.
UDVs from opened pouches should be used promptly. Store unused vials
from opened pouches in the Foil Storage Bag (9467) to extend the shelf life
of the reagent. Generally, UDVs stored in the bag should be used within 10
days if the humidity is less than 50% and within 5 days if humidity is greater
than 50%. The Foil Storage Bag contains a desiccant pack
