SAMs (Single Analyte Meters): Value and Convenience
Single Analyte Meters (SAMs) provide unprecedented economy, simplicity, and accuracy for dedicated photometers. SAMs provide results equivalent to other meters and probes costing much more.
SAM (Single-Analyte Photometer) Kit comes in a plastic case and contains everything needed to perform 30 tests.
Methods
Because of its strong oxidizing properties, chlorine is an excellent biocide used to treat potable waters, municipal wastes, and swimming pools. When used to treat potable water, chlorine helps alleviate the adverse effects of iron, manganese, ammonia, and sulfide. The Maximum Residual Disinfectant Level for chlorine is 4 mg/L in drinking water.
The DPD Method
References: USEPA Methods for Chemical Analysis of Water and Wastes, Method 330.5 (1983). APHA Standard Methods, 21st ed., Method 4500-Cl G (2005). In the USEPA-approved DPD methodology, free chlorine reacts with DPD to form a pink product. When ammonia or amines are present, some of the chlorine may exist as combined chlorine. Combined chlorine will not interfere with the free chlorine results, provided the readings are taken at one minute. To determine total chlorine (the sum of free and combined), use the A-2500 Activator Solution (potassium iodide) supplied in the kit. Results are expressed as ppm (mg/L) Cl2.
