MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
Before using the reagent kit carefully read all the instructions and the Material Safety Data Sheet
(MSDS). Pay particular attention to all warnings, cautions and notes. Failure to do so may result
in serious injury to the operator.
• Select the Nitrate method following one of the procedures described in the “Method Selection” section
(see page 15).
• Remove the cap from a Reagent Vial.
• Add exactly 1.0 mL of sample to the vial, while keeping the
vial at a 45-degree angle.
• Replace the cap tightly and invert the vial 10 times. This is the blank.
Warning: The vial will become hot during mixing, be careful when handling it.
Note: The method is technique sensitive: to obtain reproducible results it is
strongly recommended to follow carefully the “invert” procedure
described on page 10.
• Place the vial into the holder and push it completely down.
