In order to 'calibrate' the CDOM electrode, a 100ppb solution of Quinine Sulphate in sulphuric acid can be used. However, since Quinine Sulphate is extremely expensive and sulphuric acid is dangerous to handle, Aquaread Ltd has formulated an equivalent, non toxic standard for use during CDOM electrode calibration. This is available in 600mL bottles.
