Copper Sulfate - Sulfamic Acid Solution
Manufacturer: LabChem Inc.
Copper Sulfate - Sulfamic Acid from LabChem Inc. is a specialized aqueous reagent used in environmental water testing. It is primarily employed as a "preservative" or inhibitor in the Winkler Method (specifically the Alsterberg modification) for determining Dissolved Oxygen (DO). This solution acts to suppress biological activity and prevent the interference of nitrogen-based compounds, ensuring that the oxygen levels measured in the lab accurately reflect the field conditions at the time of sampling.

Lead Times May Vary.
Features:
- Biological Inhibition: Effectively halts the respiration of microorganisms in water samples, preventing "oxygen sag" between the field and the laboratory.
- Interference Suppression: Sulfamic acid works to eliminate the interference of nitrites, which can otherwise cause falsely high dissolved oxygen readings.
- Ready-to-Use: Pre-mixed at the standardized concentrations required for environmental protocols, reducing the risk of preparation error.
- NIST-Traceability: Manufactured by LabChem Inc. with high-grade raw materials traceable to NIST standards where applicable.
Safety & Handling:
CAUTION! Acidic & Corrosive: Contains sulfamic acid and copper sulfate. May cause skin and eye irritation.
- Personal Protection: Wear nitrile gloves, safety glasses, and a lab coat during use.
- Storage: Store at room temperature in the original, tightly sealed container. Keep away from strong bases.
- Disposal: Dispose of as hazardous waste in accordance with local regulations; copper is regulated due to its toxicity to aquatic environments.
