Product overview

The single wavelength Pocket Colorimeter II instruments are portable

filter photometers used for testing water, treated waters, wastewater,

estuary and seawater. Refer to Figure 1. The single wavelength

models are configured at the factory to measure at a specific

wavelength.

The single wavelength models have two channels in which

measurements can be made. Until a user-prepared calibration curve is

entered, the single wavelength instruments show only a direct readout

of absorbance. To measure concentration, enter a user-prepared

calibration curve. Refer to User-entered calibration on page 21.

Measurement

Basic colorimetry

Colorimetry measures the amount of color in a clear medium, such as

a liquid, to identify the quantity of a particular substance (the analyte) in

the liquid. Typically, the concentration of the analyte is proportional to

the intensity of the color in the clear medium (solution). In most

methods, a darker color indicates a higher analyte concentration.

Absorbance (Abs) at a specific wavelength is typically used to measure

the amount of light absorbed by the solution. Absorbance (Abs) is

calculated as:

Abs = –log T or Abs = –log (I

T

/I

O

)

Where:

T = transmittance

I

T

= intensity of the light transmitted through the sample

I

O

= intensity of the light that enters the sample

Some substances, such as dyes and different metal ions, have

inherent color and can be measured without any additions. In most

cases, a chemical reaction between an indicator and the analyte is

necessary to get a colored product that can be measured.

Once the relationship between the amount of color (measured as

absorbance) and a known concentration of a sample is identified, the

instrument can be used to measure concentrations of unknown

samples. A user-entered calibration curve is used to measure the

sample concentration.

To identify the amount of color in a sample, the instrument measures

the amount of light the solution absorbs. The absorption of light is

dependent on the wavelength of the light and the color of the solution.

12 English

The combination of an LED light source and an interference filter sets

the measurement wavelength.

Select the best wavelength

The single wavelength instruments each have a different LED and

interference filter to measure at a specific wavelength.

The wavelength (color) of light used is typically selected so that it has a

maximum absorption, but other wavelengths can be selected to

minimize interferences or other factors. For the best results, select the

instrument wavelength with knowledge about the absorbance spectra

of the species of interest, as well as the spectra of other colored

species that could be in the sample. Figure 6 shows a typical

absorption spectrum.

Refer to Table 1 to select the best instrument wavelengths to use for

testing. Do not use this table for samples that have more than one

absorption region that adds to the visible color. For example, a green

solution can have a yellow and a blue absorption peak. One or the

other peak can be used for measurements if both have different

analyte concentration. Other samples can look brown because there

are several spectra that add to the visible color.

Measurement range

The measurement range of the instrument is 0 to approximately

1.50 Abs, but can be used up to a measurement range of 2.5 Abs if the

chemistry method supports that range.

If sample absorbances are more than 1.50 Abs:

1. Dilute the sample or use smaller sample cells for the best linearity

and accuracy.

2. If a smaller sample cell such as the 1-cm (10-mL) cell is used,

complete the calibration with the smaller sample cells.

Note: Absorbance increases with the increase of the sample cell pathlength.

Use a sample cell with a shorter pathlength to measure solutions with a

darker colored.

3. Monitor the calibration curve to identify the measurement range for

a specific test.

The measurement range is the concentration range in which the

deviation from linearity is within acceptable limits.

Calibration curve

Calibration curves should ideally intersect the zero intercept for

absorbance. The zero intercept is the zero concentration point on the

calibration graph. When there is no analyte in the sample, the

absorbance will be zero.

A non-zero intercept (a positive or negative absorbance measurement

at zero concentration) can occur for many reasons. Factors that can

cause a non-zero intercept include the reagent blank, pH, temperature,

interfering species or turbidity differences between the zeroing solution

(blank) and the sample.

To adjust for a non-zero intercept caused by the reagent blank,

measure the absorbance of the prepared reagent blank and then

subtract it from the measured absorbance of the prepared sample. In

English 15

an aqueous sample, add the reagents to deionized water to prepare

the reagent blank. The prepared reagent blank includes only the

amount of color that is added to the deionized water by the reagent and

not the analyte. The prepared sample includes the amount of color that

is added by the reagent and the analyte.

For some chemistries, the intensity of the color decreases as the

analyte concentration increases. These chemistries are referred to as

bleaching chemistries because the measured sample is lighter in color

than the reagent blank that was used to zero the instrument. This

instrument is able to measure bleaching (or negative) absorbance

chemistries directly. Set the instrument zero with the reagent blank (the

most highly colored solution) and then read the sample or bleached

color directly.

Single wavelength procedure

Before starting

Always measure solutions in sample cells or AccuVac

®

Ampules. Do not put

the instrument in the sample or pour the sample into the cell holder.

Make sure that the sample cells are clean and there are no scratches where

the light passes through them.

Make sure that there are no fingerprints or liquid on the external surface of the

sample cells or AccuVac

®

Ampules. Wipe with a lint-free cloth.

Rinse the sample cell and cap with the sample three times before the sample

cell is filled.

Always insert the sample cell in the correct and consistent orientation so that

the results are more repeatable and precise. Refer to Figure 7.

Install the instrument cap over the cell holder before ZERO or READ is

pushed. Refer to Figure 8.

Measure the volume of the liquid reagent accurately. Use a pipet if possible.

If the test result is over-range, dilute a fresh sample with a known volume of

deionized water and repeat the test. Multiply the result by the dilution factor.

When the test is completed, immediately empty and rinse the prepared sample

cell. Rinse the sample cell and cap three times.

16 English

Review the Safety Data Sheets (MSDS/SDS) for the chemicals that are used.

Use the recommended personal protective equipment.

Dispose of reacted solutions according to local, state and federal regulations.

Refer to the Safety Data Sheets for disposal information for unused reagents.

Refer to the environmental, health and safety staff for your facility and/or local

regulatory agencies for further disposal information.
