during shipping. If there is any noticeable damage, notify
your Dealer or the nearest Hanna office immediately.
Each kit is supplied with:
• HI 3856-0 Reagent, packets (100 pcs);
• 1 long path color comparator cube.
Note:
Any damaged or defective item must be returned in
its original packing materials.

Copper
Ultra Low Range
Test Kit
ISTR3856R1 02/00-L PRINTED IN ITALY
Copper is an essential trace element in human diet (the
daily requirement is around 2.0 mg) and a factor in plant
metabolism. Copper salts are widely used in water supply
systems to control biological growth in reservoirs. Corrosion of
copper alloys in pipe fittings on the other hand may
introduce considerable quantities into the water supplies.
Note:
mg/L is equivalent to ppm (parts per million).
Range
0 to 0.25 mg/L (ppm) as Copper
Smallest Increment
0.05 ppm
Analysis Method
Colorimetric, bicinchoninate

Copper salts react with bicinchoninate reagent to form a
purple product in neutral buffered condition. The amount of
color developed is proportional to the concentration of copper
present in the aqueous sample.
• Determine which color best matches
the solution in the cube and record
the result as mg/L (ppm) of Copper.
• It is better to match the color with a white sheet at
about 10 cm behind the comparator.
Note:
To measure Copper in the 0-2.5 ppm range, use the
HI 3847
Copper Test Kit.
