Chemetrics - K-9400 - Detergents (anionic surfactants, MBAS) CHEMets Kit

ITEM #: 4184864
Detergents can be introduced into the water supply by industry, soap manufacturers, and private households. Environmental analysts often include a determination of anionic detergents when assessing surface water pollution.
The Methylene Blue Method
References: USEPA Methods for Chemical Analysis of Water and Wastes, Method 425.1 (1983). APHA Standard Methods, 23rd ed ., Method 5540 C - 2000. ASTM D 2330-02, Methylene Blue Active Substances.
The methylene blue active substances (MBAS) method is used in a 3-minute procedure to measure anionic detergents. The procedure features a unique e x traction/sampling technique that eliminates several steps required in other test procedures and provides increased sensitivity.
Anionic detergents react with methylene blue to form a blue-colored comple x that is e x tracted into an immiscible organic solvent. Results are e x pressed in ppm (mg/L) as linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS), equivalent weight 325.
Range: 0-3 ppm
MDL: 0.125 ppm
Method: Methylene Blue
Kit comes in a cardboard bo x and contains everything needed to perform 20 tests: Refill, Comparator, reaction tube with lid, tip breaking tool, and instructions.
Shelf-life: 5 months. We recommend stocking quantities that will be used within seven months.
WARNING! This product can e x pose you to chemicals including chloroform, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. For more information go to .
