Sampling and Storage
Collect samples in clean plastic or glass bottles. Most reliable
results are obtained when samples are analyzed as soon as
possible after collection.
If chlorine is known to be present, the sample must be treated
immediately with sodium thiosulfate. Add one drop of Sodium
Thiosulfate Standard Solution, 0.1 N, for each 0.3 mg of chlorine
present in a one liter sample.
To preserve the sample, adjust the pH to 2 or less with
concentrated sulfuric acid (about 2 mL per liter). Store samples at
4 °C or less. Samples preserved in this manner can be stored up to
28 days. Just before testing the stored sample, warm to room
temperature and neutralize with 5.0 N Sodium Hydroxide
Standard Solution. Correct the test result for volume additions;
see
Correction for Volume Additions , in Section 1 for more
detailed information.
