OXYGEN, DISSOLVED, LR,
c) Determine the dissolved oxygen concentration according to the
preceding procedure. The result should be 0 ±1 µg/L.
INTERFERENCES
Excess amounts of sodium thioglycolate, sodium ascorbate, sodium
ascorbate + sodium sulfite, sodium ascorbate + cupric sulfate, sodium
nitrite, sodium sulfite, sodium thiosulfate, and hydroquinone will not
reduce the oxidized form of the indicator solution; therefore, they do not
cause significant interference. A 100,000-fold excess of hydrazine will
begin to reduce the oxidized form of the indicator solution.
Sodium hydrosulfite will reduce the oxidized form of the indicator
solution and will cause a serious interference.
STATISTICAL EVALUATION
A single operator repetitively tested samples of the same solutions, using
one DR/700 and two representative lots of AccuVacs. Testing
300 µg/L O samples, the standard deviation was ±27.7 µg/L O
2
Testing zero concentration samples, the limit of detection was
16.1 µg/L O
. The limit of detection was calculated as three times the
2
standard deviation when testing zero concentration samples (Adapted
from Analytical Chemistry, 1980, 52, 2242-2249).
SUMMARY OF METHOD
The Low Range Dissolved Oxygen AccuVac Ampul contains reagent
vacuum sealed in a 12-mL ampul. When the AccuVac ampul is broken
open in a sample containing dissolved oxygen, the yellow solution will
turn blue. The blue color development is proportional to the
concentration of dissolved oxygen.
