6. Prepare three sample spikes. Fill three Mixing Cylinders (Cat. No. 1896-40)
with 25 mL of sample. Use the TenSette Pipet to add 0.1 mL, 0.2 mL, and
0.3 mL of standard, respectively, to each sample and mix thoroughly.
7. Analyze each standard addition sample as described above (use a 5-mL
aliquot of the spiked sample as the sample). Accept each standard additions
reading by touching
100% recovery.
8. After completing the sequence, touch
the standard additions data points, accounting for matrix interferences. Touch

See Section 3.2.2 Standard Additions on page 32 for more information.
Standard Solution Method
1. Use a 1.0-mg/L phosphate standard solution in place of the sample. Perform
the procedure as describe above.

Phosphates present in organic and condensed inorganic forms (meta-, pyro-, or
other polyphosphates) must be converted to reactive orthophosphate before
analysis. Pretreatment of the sample with acid and heat provides the conditions
for hydrolysis of the condensed inorganic forms. Organic phosphates are
converted to orthophosphates by heating with acid and persulfate.
