Page 666.2 Calibration StandardsThe following compounds can be used to prepare calibration standard solutions in BioTector.To prepare a 1000mgC/l Total Organic Carbon (TOC) standard solution, use one of the following: Potassium Hydrogen Phthalate, C8H5KO4, 2.13g (99.9% purity) in one liter of deionised water. Watersolubility: 80 g/L at 20°C. Acetic acid, C2H4O2, 2.51g (99.8% purity) in one liter of deionised water. Water solubility: Miscible inall proportions. Glucose, C6H12O6, 2.53g (99% purity) in one liter of deionised water. Water solubility: 512g/L at 25°C.To prepare a 1000mgC/l Total Inorganic Carbon (TIC) standard solution, use one of the following: Sodium Carbonate, CNa2O3, 8.84g (99.9% purity) in one liter of deionised water. Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate, CHNaO3, 7.04g (99.5% purity) in one liter of deionised water. Potassium Carbonate, CK2O3, 11.62g (99.0% purity) in one liter of deionised water.To prepare a 1000mgN/l Total Nitrogen (TN) standard solution, use one of the following: Nitric Acid, HNO3, 6.43g (70% purity) in one liter of deionised water. Cesium Nitrate, CsNO3, 14.05g (99% purity) in one liter of deionised water. Sodium Nitrate, NaNO3, 6.07g (99% purity) in one liter of deionised water.All hygroscopic chemicals in crystal form should be dried in an oven set at 105°C for 3hours to remove any traces of absorbed water. All prepared solutions must be mixedthoroughly with a magnetic stirrer or inverted manually at least ten times or until allcrystals are completely dissolved inside the solution.The quantity of concentrated chemical required to prepare stock calibration solutionswill change with the % purity of the chemical used. If the purity of the chemical isdifferent than the figures displayed above, the necessary quantity needs to berecalculated from the purity of the chemical. See example in the following page.Depending on the system analysis ranges (see System Range Data menu), everyBioTector requires specific calibration standard solutions. The required concentration ofthe calibration standard solutions can be identified in Span Calibration menu.As the sample pressure normalization (line equalization function) is not activated forCalibration/Manual Valve, it is recommended that the calibration standard solution flaskis placed at the same height with the Sample Pump.CautionCaution
