Persistant Interferences
•
All oxidising agents in the samples react like chlorine, which leads to higher results.
Removeable Interferences
•
Interference from Copper and Iron (III) are eliminated by the addition of EDTA.
•
The use of reagent tablets in samples with high Calcium content* and/or
high conductivity* can lead to turbidity of the sample and therefore incorrect
measurements. In this case, the alternative reagent tablet DPD No. 1 High Calcium
and reagent tablet DPD No. 3 High Calcium should be used.
*it is not possible to give exact values, because the development of turbidity depends
on the composition and nature of the sample.
•
Concentrations above 10 mg/l Chlorine, in the event of using fluid reagents, can
lead to results within the measuring range of up to 0 mg/l. In the event of a high
concentration of Chlorine, the sample must be diluted with chlorine-free water. 10 ml
of the diluted sample should be mixed with the reagent and the measurement taken
again (plausibility test).
