General description

(free chlorine) Method: photometric, DPD 0.010 - 6.00 mg/l Cl₂ Spectroquant®
This Spectroquant® Chlorine test allows the accurate quantification of chlorine in various waters. Chlorinated disinfectants are still in common use all over the world, their major applications being in the chlorination of drinking water and swimming pools. In weakly acidic solution free chlorine reacts with dipropyl-p-phenylenediamine (DPD) to form a red-violet dye that is determined photometrically.
The method is analogous to EPA 330.5, APHA 4500-Cl2 G, and DIN EN ISO 7393-2.
All our Cell and Reagent Test Kits are equipped with the unique Live ID (2D barcode) which allows seamless method recognition and contains essential information such as lot number, expiry date, and automatic calibration updates.
The Spectroquant® Reagent Test Kits contain highly stable, ready-to-use reagent mixtures to perform the analysis according to the procedure described in the accompanying instruction leaflet.

Protocols

Spectrophotometric determination of iodine with dipropyl-p-phenylenediamine (DPD) in drinking water, wastewater, and disinfection solutions in a range of 0.050 – 10.00 mg/L.

Spectrophotometric determination of bromine with dipropyl-p-phenylenediamine (DPD) in drinking water, swimming-pool water, wastewater, and disinfection solutions in a range of 0.020 – 10.00 mg/L.

AQA Standard for free chlorine - Preparation of a standard solution for free chlorine

AQA Standard for free chlorine - Preparation of a standard solution for free chlorine - Preparation of a stock solution of free chlorine: First prepare a 1:10 dilution using a sodium hypochlorite solution containing approximately 6 - 14 % of active chlorine. For this pipette 10 ml of sodium hypochlorite solution into a calibrated or conformity-checked 100-ml volumetric flask and then make up to the mark with water for analysis.
