O-Toluidine Reagent (For chlorine estimation)
R022
O-Toluidine Reagent is used for estimation of chlorine from water.
Composition**IngredientsO-Toluidine 1.0gm
Hydrochloric acid 100.0mlDistilled water 899.0ml**Formula adjusted, standardized to suit performance parameters
Directions1) Add 1ml of O-Toluidine reagent to100ml of the sample and mix thoroughly.
2) Allow the sample to stay in dark for 5-15minutes for the colour to develop if the sample is free of chloramine and nitrite
and iron are each less than 0.3ppm. If chloramine is present, allow it to stand for full 15 minutes.
3) If the sample is highly alkaline, it may give blue-green colour instead of yellow. Add 1ml of 1:4 hydrochloric acid to
reduce the pH to 4 or less.
4) Compare the colour produced with that of standards from of standard colour comparison chart.
5)Match the correct colour and report as ppm of chloride.
Principle And InterpretationA solution of O-Toluidine in hydrochloric acid react with active chlorine present in water to form a yellow product. This test
is applicable to water that have been treated with chlorine or hypochlorite such as potable water, swimming pools or
condenser water where the residual (free) chlorine range between 0-2ppm.At a pH less than 4, chlorine develops a colour with
O-Toluidine reagent, varying from pale yellow at low concentration to dark yellow at higher concentration.
Type of specimen Water samples Specimen Collection and Handling: For water samples, follow appropriate techniques for sample collection, processing as per guidelines and local standards. After use, contaminated materials must be sterilized by autoclaving before discarding.
Warning and Precautions :In Vitro diagnostic Use only. Read the label before opening the container. Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection/ face protection. Follow good microbiological lab practices while handling specimens and culture. Standard precautions as per established guidleines should be followed while handling clincal specimens. Saftey guidelines may be referred in individual safety data sheets
Performance and EvaluationPerformace of the product is expected when used as per the direction on the label within the expiry period when stored at recommended temperature.
Quality ControlAppearanceColourless clear solution.
ClarityClear without any precipitate.
Chlorine estimationResidual (Free)Chlorine (as ppm) is obtained by comparing the colour produced with that of the standard colour comparison chart.Colour chart for Free chlorine content (by O-Toluidine method 0-2ppm)
