Tips and Techniques
• For more accurate results, determine a reagent blank value for each new lot of reagent. Follow the procedure using deionized
water in place of the sample. Subtract the reagent blank value from the final results or perform a reagent blank adjust
instrument manual for more information on Running a Reagent Blank.
• If the sample is less than 10 °C (50 °F), warm to room temperature prior to analysis.
• You can determine nickel with the same sample prepared with this method. Use Program Number 340. A reagent blank is
necessary for the nickel procedure.
• Wipe the outside of sample cells before each insertion into the instrument cell holder. Use a damp towel followed by a dry one to
remove fingerprints or other marks.
