Pretreatment of the sample is described in the analysis specification.
In a simple case, pretreatment can be to dissolve a solid substance in water;
it can, however, also include chemical conversions, e. g. a digestion.
The chemicals required in the analysis specification are available as test
sets.
Methods and the corresponding method data for many test sets are stored as
programs in the pHotoFlex
®
Turb. A program number is assigned to each
program.
The stored method data are loaded when the program number is entered or
read in with the aid of a bar code reader.
You can look up an overview of the available methods in the photometry anal-
ysis manual and display it on the screen of the pHotoFlex
