SAMPLE HANDLING & PRESERVATION: Copper has a tendency to be adsorbed to the surface of the sample container. Samples should be analyzed as soon as possible after collection. If storage is necessary, 0.5 mL of 20% hydrochloric acid per 100 mL of sample will prevent “platingout”.However,acorrectionmustbemadetobring the reaction into the optimum pH range. INTERFERENCES: High concentrations of oxidizing agents, calcium, and magnesium interfere. Silver can also interfere. Copper–UDV 2/3 Smart2 TEST PROCEDURES 2.04

PROCEDURE Use 10 mm square cell adapter. 1. Press and hold ON button until colorimeter turns on. 2. Press ENTER to start. 3. Press ENTER to select TESTING MENU. 3. Select ALL TESTS (or another sequence containing 33 Copper-UDV)from TESTING MENU. 4. Scroll to and select 33 Copper-UDV from menu. 5. Rinse a clean vial (0156) with sample water. 6. Use the syringe (1184) to add 3 mL of sample to the vial. 7. Insert the vial into chamber, close lid and select SCAN BLANK. 8. Remove vial from the colorimeter. 9. Use the syringe (1184) to add 3 mL of sample to a Copper UDV vial (4314). 10. Wait 2 minutes. 11. Invert vial 3 times to mix. NOTE: If powder residue remains in the bottom of the vial after inverting, or if air bubbles form, invert once more and tap bottom of vial sharply once or twice to dislodge powder or bubbles. Mix. 12. Insert tube into chamber, close lid and select SCAN SAMPLE. Record result. 13. Press OFF button to turn the colorimeter off or press EXIT button to exit to a previous menu or make another menu selection. NOTE: For best possible results, a reagent blank should be determined to account for any contribution to the test result by the reagent system. To determine the reagent blank, follow the above test procedure to scan a distilled or deionized water blank. Then follow the above procedure to perform the test on a distilled or deionized water sample. This test result is the reagent blank. Subtract the reagent blank from all subsequent test results of unknown samples. It is necessary to determine the reagent blank only when a new lot number of reagents are obtained. UDVs from opened pouches should be used promptly. Store unused vials from opened pouches in the Foil Storage Bag (9467) to extend the shelf life of the reagent. Generally, UDVs stored in the bag should be used within 10 days if the humidity is less than 50% and within 5 days if humidity is greater than 50%. The Foil Storage Bag contains a desiccant pack with indicator. When the indicator in the window turns from blue to pink, the bag should be replaced. Smart2 TEST PROCEDURES 2.04 Copper–UDV 3/3
