Summary of Method
FerroVer Iron Reagent reacts with all soluble iron and most
insoluble forms of iron in the sample to produce soluble ferrous
iron. This reacts with 1,10-phenanthroline indicator in the reagent
to form an orange color in proportion to the iron concentration.

Turbidity 1. Add 0.1 g scoop of RoVer Rust Remover to the blank
in Step 3. Swirl to mix.
2. Zero the instrument with this blank.
3. If sample remains turbid, add three 0.2 g scoops of
RoVer to a 75-mL sample. Let stand
5 minutes.
4. Filter through a glass filter or centrifuge.
5. Use filtered sample in Steps 3 and 6.
Sample pH (extreme) Adjust pH to 3-5. See Interferences in Section 1.
Highly Buffered Samples Adjust pH to 3-5. See Interferences in Section 1.
