Method 10031
Test 'N Tube™ Vials
Scope and Application:
Tips and Techniques
• Small sample sizes (such as 0.1 mL) may not be representative of the entire sample. Mix the sample well before testing or repeat
the test, sampling from different portions of the sample.
• 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.
• The ammonia salicylate reagent contains sodium nitroferricyanide. Cyanide solutions are regulated as hazardous wastes by the
Federal RCRA. Collect cyanide solutions for disposal as reactive (D001) waste. Be sure cyanide solutions are stored in a caustic
solution with pH >11 to prevent release of hydrogen cyanide gas. See Section 4 on page 55 for further information in proper
disposal of these materials.
• A green color will develop if ammonia is present.
