DPD Acidifying Liquid Reagent

Overview

DPD acidifying reagent lower the sample pH into the band a colorimetric method needs, which several metal and nutrient tests require before the colour will develop correctly. It replaces measuring out an acid on site.

Key features

• Sets the sample pH for methods that will only develop in acid conditions
• Ready-made reagent, so there is no weighing or dilution on the bench
• Supplied in the 30 ml size, item code PL30DPDAcidif

Frequently asked questions

Why does a sample need acidifying?
Several colour reactions only work within a narrow pH band. The tablet sets that condition reproducibly, without anyone measuring and carrying acid.

Does this reagent work on its own?
Several photometric methods use two or three reagents in sequence. Check which components your method lists, and we will make sure the set is complete before it ships.

How should liquid reagents be stored?
Cool, dry and out of direct sunlight, with the cap firmly closed. Note the batch and expiry on the bottle, and work through the oldest stock first.
