Accurate and Reliable Chlorine Testing for Water
The K-2513 Vacu-vials are designed for use with the K-2001 photometer and provide a precise, instrumental method to measure chlorine concentrations in water. With a measurement range of 0–5.00 ppm, this test kit ensures accurate monitoring of free and total chlorine, making it ideal for water treatment, environmental testing, and industrial applications.
Unlike traditional visual test kits, the Vacu-vials system allows for direct reading on CHEMetrics Direct-Read Photometers or any spectrophotometer compatible with 13 mm round cells, providing fast and reliable results with minimal operator error.
Why Choose Vacu-vials?
- Instrumental Accuracy: Obtain precise readings using a photometer or spectrophotometer.
- Safe and Sealed: Each ampoule is vacuum-sealed to prevent reagent degradation and reduce direct chemical contact.
- Simple Operation: Minimal steps reduce the likelihood of operator error.
- Compatible with Other Equipment: Can be used with third-party spectrophotometers by selecting the wavelength specified in the kit instructions.
How It Works
The K-2513 Chlorine Vacu-vials use the USEPA-approved DPD (N,N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine) method:
- Free Chlorine: DPD reacts with free chlorine in the water to produce a pink-colored product.
- Total Chlorine: When combined chlorine (chloramines) is present, the kit includes an A-2500 Activator Solution (potassium iodide) to measure total chlorine, accounting for both free and combined forms.
- Hypochlorite Testing: The DPD reaction is also applicable for measuring hypochlorite concentrations in cleaning solutions and disinfectants prior to dilution, with results expressed as percent (%) NaOCl.
How to Use the K-2513 Vacu-vials
- Fill the Sample Cup: Add water sample to the 25 mL mark of the included sample cup.
- Add Stabilizer Solution: Add 2 drops, and stir to mix.
- Fill the Vacu-vial: Place the ampoule tip-first into the sample cup, snap the tip, and it will automatically fill.
- Mix the Ampoule: Tilt side-to-side to move the air bubble and ensure proper mixing.
- Wait for Color Development: Dry the ampoule and wait 2 minutes for the color to develop.
- Read Results: Insert the Vacu-vial into the photometer flat-end first to obtain the reading in ppm Clâ‚‚.
