Set up the distillation apparatus in a fume hood to prevent exposure to hazardous gas.
In bright light conditions (e.g., direct sunlight), close the cell compartment, if applicable, with the protective cover during
measurements.
Do not use the Pour-Thru Cell or sipper module (for applicable instruments) with this test.
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

concentrated sulfuric acid (approximately 2 mL per liter). No acid addition is
necessary if the sample is tested immediately.
• Keep the preserved samples at room temperature for a maximum of 6 months.
• Before analysis, adjust the pH to approximately 7 with 5 N sodium hydroxide solution.
• Correct the test result for the dilution caused by the volume additions.

9. Insert the first prepared standard solution into the cell holder. Make sure that the
standard solution concentration is selected on the display and push READ.
10. Continue to measure the remaining standard solutions.
11. Push GRAPH. Make sure that FORCE ZERO is off.
12. If the graph is acceptable select DONE>EXIT.
13. Save (store) the user program. When the user program is selected in the test
procedure, the calibration curve is used to measure the sample concentration.
Summary of Method
A mixture of zinc, stannous chloride, potassium iodide and hydrochloric acid reduces the
arsenic into arsine gas in a specially equipped distillation apparatus. The arsine goes
through a scrubber that uses a cotton ball soaked with lead acetate for sulfide removal.
Then the arsine goes into an absorber tube that contains a solution of silver
diethyldithiocarbamate in pyridine. The arsenic reacts to form a red complex that is read
colorimetrically. A manual calibration is necessary for this procedure. The measurement
wavelength is 520 nm.
