Interferences
Precision
In a single laboratory, using a standard solution of 360 mg/L C
and one lot of reagents, a single operator obtained a standard
deviation of ±8 mg/L C.
Estimated Detection Limit
Use Method Number 10129 to test TOC levels below 20 mg/L C.
Sensitivity
At mid-range, the sensitivity, expressed as the concentration
change per 0.010 absorbance change, is 6 mg/L C.
The following have been tested for interference and found not to
interfere up to the indicated levels:
