System Startup
The Ammonia analyzer uses reagents, calibration solutions
and de-ionized water during its standard operation.
Before completing the preparation of reagent, water sample,
standard solution, deep cleaning solution (optional) and
deionized water access, etc., do not turn on the power the
instrument.
Reagent Preparation
Thermo Fisher has provided reagents packet for customers to
purchase. The reagents packet contains four reagent bottles,
which are marked with Ammonia Nitrogen reagent 1,
Ammonia Nitrogen reagent 2 Part A, Ammonia Nitrogen
reagent 2 Part B, and Ammonia Nitrogen reagent 3,
respectively. In which, reagent 1 and reagent 3 can be directly
installed and connected.
Reagent 2 is prepared from reagent 2 Part A and reagent 2
Part B. As shown in
, open the bottles of reagent 2
Part B and reagent 2 Part A, pour all the solid powder in
reagent 2 Part B into the bottle of reagent 2 Part A, cover the
bottle cap, after being moderately shaken, it shall be placed
for more than half an hour, then open the bottle cap, and
when no undissolved powder is observed to deposit on the
bottom of the bottle, continue the installation and connection.

Part B Bottles
For safety purposes, observe the following rules when
handling reagents:
• Wear protective clothing (or experimental work clothes)
provided together with the instrument.
• Wear safety goggles / face mask or protective gloves.
• Exhaust fans must be installed at the work site.
• In this chapter, only glass or high-density polyethylene and
other materials with good resistance to acids can be used
in the whole process of preparation.
• Ensure that all bottles are ventilated after installation.
• Ensure compliance with applicable local accident
prevention laws and regulations.
• Properly dispose of all chemicals and obey applicable local
laws and regulations.
Tubing Connections
The instrument is equipped with a total of 3 reagents
(Reagent 1, Reagent 2 Part A, Reagent 2 Part B, and
Reagent 3), and at 5 standard solutions and deep cleaning
solution. Customers are suggested to purchase them directly
from Thermo Fisher except for deep cleaning solution.
For the tubing connection of specific reagents, standard
solution and deep cleaning solution, refer
DANGER:
Exposure to and inhalation of
chemicals are hazardous. Only trained and
qualified personnel can perform the work
described in this section of the User Manual.
WARNING:
Exposure to and inhalation of
chemicals are hazardous. It is recommended
that to minimize chemical exposure and
ensure measurement performance, reagents
and solutions can be ordered from Thermo
Fisher Scientific.
