Spectroquant® Prove 100/300/600

In this application note, explore Merck's ready-to-use test kits, instruments and accessories for water analysis, environmental analysis, and food & beverage analysis.

This application note describes a method to measure ammonia in surface water, drinking water, waste water and aquarium water using a Spectroquant® Spectrophotometer Prove.

This application note describes a method for measuring the levels of nitrate in surface and drinking water using a Spectroquant® UV/VIS Spectrophotometer Prove.

This application note describes a method for measuring chlorophyll and phaeophytin content in surface water using a Spectroquant® Spectrophotometer Prove.

This application note outlines a method for measuring olive oil purity using UV spectrophotometric techniques. The method demonstrates that the Spectroquant® Prove 300 and Spectroquant® Prove 600 are suitable for determining K values of olive oil.

The Spectroquant® Prove 300 and Spectroquant® Prove 600 have wavelength ranges of 190 to 1100 nm. Both instruments use a double beam for measurement stability and a xenon flash lamp for long life. This application note demonstrates that the Spectroquant® Prove 300 and Spectroquant® Prove 600 are suitable for determining the color of sugar solutions using ICUMSA methods.

This application note describes a study using the Spectroquant® Cell Test to analyze nitrate and phosphate levels in a commercial brand of toothpaste. With some methods the presence of fluoride can affect the test results but the method used in this study had no interference.

Sulfites are often used as preservatives in food like dried fruit and preserved vegetables. Although shrimp are sometimes treated with sulfites on fishing vessels, the chemical may not appear on the label. This application note demonstrates a photometric method for the determination of sulfite content in shrimp samples using the Spectroquant® Prove.

Bromate can occur in drinking water treatment in the oxidation of bromide-containing waters with ozone. Bromates are carcinogenic, these substances in drinking water are undesirable and there are limits for drinking water in many countries. The EU drinking water directive prescribes as a maximum allowable concentration of Bromate in drinking water by 0.010 mg/l BrO3- (or 10 μg/l BrO3-). The same limit is also in the WHO guideline for drinking water. Local regulations often prescribe these limit values too. This application note provides an overview of the methods available from MilliporeSigma.
