Description

General description

Method: colorimetric with color card and comparator block with short test tubes 0.25 - 0.5 - 1.0 - 2.0 - 3.0 - 5.0 - 7.5 - 10 - 15 mg/l Fe MQuant^®

The MQuant^® Iron test (formally MColortest^®) measures bivalent and trivalent iron in its dissolved form as well as fresh colloidal iron(III) hydroxide in

• Groundwater and surface water, seawater
• Drinking water and mineral water
• Waters from aquaculture
• Boiler and boiler feed water, cooling water
• Industrial water
• Wastewater and percolating water
• Food after appropriate sample pretreatment

Method
All iron ions are reduced to iron(II) ions by a thioglycolate buffer. These react with 1,10-phenanthroline to form a red complex. The iron concentration is measured semiquantitatively by visual comparison of the color of the measurement solution with the color fields of a color card. The unique brilliance of the print and their fine color graduation allow precise analyses, even at the lower end of the concentration range.
