TECHNICAL TIPS

If running Ammonia or TKN chemistry on either a discrete or segmented flow analyzer, the age of your chlorine source (bleach or DCI) is vital. To help increase the longevity of the stock chemical, store in the refrigerator.

For large amounts of samples, the reagent wedge volume (40 mL) may not be enough to hold the requisite amount of reagent for the samples. 

However, the SEAL AQ software allows for multiple locations to be added for the same reagent. This means that there is the possibility to have 2 or even 3 wedge locations dedicated to one reagent. 

The software will move to the second wedge after it has used the reagent in the first wedge.

In the software, navigate to Maintenance and Setup tab and then select Reagent Sets. On the reagent set tab that is used, go to the reagent position to be added. Then select the reagent name from the dropdown list. This will now use both positions for the same reagent.
