PRECISION AND ACCURACY
Precision is how closely repeated measurements agree with each other. Precision is usually expressed as standard deviation (SD).
Accuracy is defined as the nearness of a test result to the true value.
Although good precision suggests good accuracy, precise results can be inaccurate. The figure explains these definitions.
For each method, the precision is expressed in the related measurement section.
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
Absorption of light is a typical phenomenon of interaction between electromagnetic radiation and matter. When a light beam crosses a substance, some of the radiation may be absorbed by atoms, molecules or crystal lattices.
If pure absorption occurs, the fraction of light absorbed depends both on the optical path length through the matter and on the physical-chemical characteristics of substance according to the Lambert-Beer Law:
-log
I
/
I o or
A =
ε
=

Where:
-log

I
=intensity of light beam after absorption
ε
λ
=Absorbance (A)
=intensity of incident light beam
=molar extinction coefficient at wavelength
λ c =molar concentration of the substance d =optical path through the substance
Therefore, the concentration "c" can be calculated from the absorbance of the substance as the other factors are known.
Photometric chemical analysis is based on the possibility to develop an absorbing compound from a specific chemical reaction between sample and reagents.
Given that the absorption of a compound strictly depends on the wavelength of the incident light beam, a narrow spectral bandwidth should be selected as well as a proper central wavelength to optimize measurements.
The optical system of HI 83224 is based on special subminiature tungsten lamps and narrow-band interference filters to guarantee both high performance and reliable results.
Three measuring channels (at three different wavelengths) allow a wide range of tests.
Instrument block diagram (optical layout)
A microprocessor controlled special tungsten lamp emits radiation which is first optically conditioned and beamed through the sample contained in the vial. The optical path is fixed by the diameter of the vial. Then the light is spectrally filtered to a narrow spectral bandwidth, to obtain a light beam of intensity
I o
or
I
.
The photoelectric cell collects the radiation
I
that is not absorbed by the sample and converts it into an electric current, producing a potential in the mV range.
The microprocessor uses this potential to convert the incoming value into the desired measuring unit and to display it on the LCD.
The measurement process is carried out in two phases: first the meter is zeroed and then the actual measurement is performed.
The vial has a very important role because it is an optical element and thus requires particular attention. It is important that both the measurement and the calibration (zeroing) vials are optically identical to provide the same measurement conditions. Most methods use the same vial for both, so it is important that measurements are taken at the same optical point. Instrument measurement principle ensures this.
It is necessary that the surface of the vial to be clean and not scratched. This is to avoid measurement interference due to unwanted reflection and absorption of light. It is recommended not to touch the vial walls with hands.
Furthermore, in order to maintain the same conditions during the zeroing and the measuring phases, it is necessary to cap the vial to prevent any contamination.

TIPS FOR AN ACCURATE MEASUREMENT
The instructions listed below should be carefully followed during testing to ensure most accurate results.
COLLECTING AND MEASURING SAMPLES
• For adding the exact amount of sample or liquid reagent to the reagent vials it is strongly recommended to use the available Hanna automatic fixed-volume pipettes or class A laboratory pipettes (symbolized like a generic pipette tip in the following method related chapters): pipette code volume
HI 731340 200
µ
L
HI 731341 1000
µ
L
HI 731342 2000
µ
L
For correct use of the automatic pipette, please follow the related Instruction Sheet.
Alternatively, the optional HI 740142 1 mL graduated syringe or HI 740226 5 mL graduated syringe can be used.
For the correct use of the syringes, see instructions below.
1. In order to measure exactly 5 mL of reagent with the 5 mL syringe:
(a) push the plunger completely into the syringe and insert the tip into the solution
(b) pull the plunger up until the lower edge of the seal is exactly on the 5 mL mark
(c) take out the syringe and clean the outside of the syringe tip. Be sure that no drops are hanging on the tip of the syringe, if so eliminate them. Then, keeping the syringe in vertical position above the vial, push the plunger completely down into the syringe. Exactly 5 mL has been added to the vial
8
2. In order to measure exactly 0.5 mL of reagent with the 1 mL syringe:
(a) push the plunger completely into the syringe and insert the tip into the solution
(b) pull the plunger up until the lower edge of the seal is exactly on the 0.0 mL mark
(c) take out the syringe and clean the outside of the syringe tip. Be sure that no drops are hanging on the tip of the syringe, if so eliminate them. Then, keeping the syringe in vertical position above the vial, push the plunger down into the syringe until the lower edge of the seal is exactly on the 0.5 mL mark. Now the exact amount of
0.5 mL has been added to the vial, even if the tip still contains some solution
Probable level of liquid taken up by syringe
(b) (a) (c)
• Color or suspended matter in large amounts may cause interference, therefore, these should be removed by treatment with active carbon and by prior filtration.
USING LIQUID AND POWDER REAGENTS
• Proper use of the dropper:
(a) to get good reproducible results, tap the dropper on the table for several times and wipe the outside of the dropper tip with a cloth
(b) always keep the dropper bottle in a vertical position while dosing the reagent
(a)
9
(b)
• Proper use of the powder reagent packet:
(a) use scissors to open the powder packet
(b) push the edges of the packet to form a spout
(c) pour out the content of the packet
(a)
(b)
(c)
USING VIALS
• Never insert hot vials in the instrument, the vial holder may become damaged.
• In order to avoid reagent leaking and to obtain most accurate results, it is recommended to close the vial tightly with the supplied cap after addition of reagents or sample.
• Shaking the vial can generate bubbles in the sample, causing higher readings. To obtain accurate measurements, remove such bubbles by swirling or by gently tapping the vial.
• Proper mixing is very important for reproducibility of the measurements. The right way of mixing a vial is specified for each method in the related chapter.
(a) invert the vial a couple of times or for a specified time: hold the vial in the vertical position with the cap up. Turn the vial upside-down and wait for all of the solution to flow to the cap end, then return the vial to the upright vertical position and wait for all of the solution to flow to the vial bottom. This is one inversion. The correct speed for this mixing technique is 10 complete inversions in 30 seconds.
This mixing technique is indicated with “invert to mix” and the following icon:
invert to mix
10
(b) shake the vial: move the vial up and down. The movement may be gentle or vigorous.
This mixing technique is indicated with “shake gently” or “shake vigorously” and one of the following icons:
shake gently
Pay attention to push the vial completely down in the holder.
shake vigorously
• Whenever the vial is placed into the measurement cell, it must be dry on the outside, and completely free of fingerprints, oil or dirt. Wipe it thoroughly with HI 731318 or a lint-free cloth prior to insertion.
• Do not let the reacted sample stand too long after reagent is added. For best accuracy, respect the timings described in each specific method.
• It is possible to take multiple readings in a row, but it is recommended to take a new zero reading for each sample and to use the same vial for zeroing and measurement where possible (for most precise results follow the measurement procedures carefully).
• All the reaction times reported in this manual are at 25 °C (77 °F). In general, the reaction time should be increased for temperatures lower than 20 °C (68 °F), and decreased for temperatures higher than 25 °C (77 °F).
11
DIGESTION
• Some analytical methods require digestion of the sample. Use the
HI 839800 test tube heater for digestion. The optional
HI 740217 safety shield is strongly recommended. For correct use of the reactor follow the Reactor Instruction
Manual. At the end of the digestion period the vials are still hot, allow the vials to cool to room temperature in the optional
HI 740216 test tube cooling rack.
REAGENT BLANK CORRECTION
• Some methods require a “reagent blank correction”. The blank and the sample are prepared exactly in the same way, with the only difference that for the blank deionized water is used instead of sample.
A blank vial may be used more than once: stability and storing conditions are described for each method in the related chapter.
INTERFERENCES
• In the method related measurement sections we have reported the most common interferences that may be present in an average wastewater matrix. It may be that for a particular treatment process other compounds do interfere with the method of analysis.
HEALTH & SAFETY
• The chemicals contained in the reagent kits may be hazardous if improperly handled.
• Read the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) before performing tests.
• Safety equipment: Wear suitable eye protection and clothing when required, and follow instructions carefully.
• Reagent spills: If a reagent spill occurs, wipe up immediately and rinse with plenty of water.
If reagent contacts skin, rinse the affected area thoroughly with water. Avoid breathing released vapors.
• Reagent vial disposal: Reagents vials may contain different waste pollutants. After use dispose of the reagent vials according to the local regulations.
