Impex Produkter NANOCOLOR Ammonium 50
Overview
The test is suitable for the photometric determination of NH4+. The test is in
accordance with APHA 4500-NH3 F, ISO 7150-1, DIN 38406-E5 and EPA 350.1.
The test is suitable for surface water, groundwater and drinking water and
slightly contaminated wastewater.
Results are highly reproducible in water with low levels of pollutants.
- Measuring range:
- 1.0–40.0 mg/L NH4-N (method 0051)
- 1.0–50.0 mg/L NH4+ / NH3 (method 0052 / 0053)
- Number of tests: 20
- Wavelength for photometric determination: 660 / 690 nm
- Shelf life: 12 months
- Reaction time: 15 minutes
- Storage temperature: 15–25 °C
- Storage conditions: upright
Method
Photometric determination of a blue indophenol dye based on a reaction with hypochlorite and salicylate at a pH of 12.6 in the presence of sodium nitroprusside.
Interferences
Heavy pollution results in errors and requires prior distillation.
The method can be applied for analyzing seawater.
Turbidities cause higher measurement values.
Reagents and accessories

Sampling and preparation
See DIN EN ISO 5667-3-A 21.
Adjust to pH 1–10 prior to analysis.
Quality control
The measurement of a blank value and a standard is recommended before every
measuring series as quality control measure.

- Accuracy of a measurement value: ± 0.91 mg/L NH4-N LOT-specific certificates are available at www.mn-net.com.
Procedure
- Open test tube
- Pipette 0.2 mL of sample into test tube
- Add 1 NANOFIX R2
- Seal test tube and shake vigorously
- Wait 15 min
- Clean outside of test tube
- Measure
Notes
When using other photometers, make sure measurements are possible in test
tubes (16 mm OD) and calibrate the method.
Correction value e. g. for colored or turbid samples possible (see photometer
manual).
Information regarding safety can be found on the box’ label and in the safety
data sheet. You can download the SDS from www.mn-net.com/SDS.
