Method
Chromotropic acid method. A persulfate digestion
converts all forms of nitrogen to nitrate. Then the
reaction between nitrate and the reagents causes
a yellow tint in the sample.

• Replace the cap tightly and shake vigorously the vials for about
30 seconds until all the powder is completely dissolved.
•
Insert the vials into the reactor and
heat them for 30 minutes at 105°C.
Note
: to obtain most accurate results,
it is strongly recommended to remove
the vials frome the reactor after
exactly 30 minutes.
•
At the end of the digestion place the
vials carefully in the test tube rack and
allow to cool to room temperature.
Warning
: as the vials are still hot, be
careful in handling them.
• Select the program number corresponding to Total Nitrogen HR on the
secondary LCD by pressing PROGRAM
t
and
s
.
•
Remove the cap from the vials and add the content of one packet
of Sodium Metabisulfite for Total Nitrogen analysis to each vial.
Replace the cap tightly and shake gently the vials for 15 seconds.
•
Wait for 3 minutes (without shaking the vials)
to allow the reaction to complete.
