Description

General description

Method: colorimetric with color-disk comparator 0.3 - 0.6 - 1.0 - 1.5 - 2 - 3 - 5 - 7 - 10 mg/l Cu MColortest^®

The MQuant^® Copper test (formally MColortest^®) measures copper(II) ions in

• Groundwater, surface water, and seawater
• Drinking water
• Wastewater and percolating water
• Boiler and boiler feed water, cooling water
• Electroplating wastewater
• Food after appropriate sample pretreatment
• Swimming-pool water

Method
In an ammoniacal medium copper(II) ions react with cuprizone to form a blue
complex. The copper concentration is measured semiquantitatively by visual comparison of the color of the measurement solution with the color fields of a color disk. By the addition of hydrogen peroxide copper(I) ions can be measured at the same time. The test evaluates the color reaction based on the transmitted light method. So even turbid and colored water samples can be analyzed without further preparation.
The color disk is made of very durable, lightfast plastic, thus suitable for industrial areas and wet environments.
Using the refill pack 1.18459 containing all the reagents, the original test kit can be used for a very long time, making it a particularly economical and ecological system.

The test measures copper(II) ions in wastewater, drinking water, groundwater and surface water. By the addition of hydrogen peroxide copper(I) ions can be measured at the same time.

Application
