Ferric Chloride, 0.025% w/v as Hexahydrate
Manufacturer: LabChem Inc.
Ferric Chloride, 0.025% w/v as Hexahydrate from LabChem Inc. is a precision-diluted reagent specifically formulated for Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) testing. In environmental water analysis, iron serves as a critical trace nutrient for the microbial populations responsible for breaking down organic matter. This solution is manufactured to meet the requirements of EPA Method 405.1 and Standard Method 5210 B, ensuring that the dilution water used in BOD assays has the exact mineral balance necessary for accurate, reproducible results.
Description
Features:
- Regulatory Accuracy: Perfectly balanced for the preparation of "BOD Nutrients," ensuring municipal and industrial wastewater laboratories remain in compliance with standardized testing protocols
- Trace-Level Precision: The 0.025% concentration is specifically designed to prevent iron toxicity while providing enough bioavailability for optimal microbial respiration
- Ready-to-Use (RTU): Pre-formulated with high-purity water to ensure zero background interference, saving lab technicians time and reducing the risk of contamination during manual dilution
- Stable Shelf Life: Unlike concentrated ferric solutions that may precipitate over time, this dilute formulation remains stable and ready for immediate addition to dilution water carboys
Safety & Storage Information:
- Mild Irritant: Due to its highly dilute nature, this solution is significantly safer than reagent-grade solids; however, it may still cause mild irritation to eyes or sensitive skin
- Personal Protection: Wear standard PPE, including safety glasses and nitrile gloves
- Storage: Store at controlled room temperature (15°C to 30°C) in a tightly closed container. Keep away from direct sunlight to prevent potential photodegradation of the iron complex
- Application Tip: Typically, 1 mL of this solution is added per liter of BOD dilution water, along with phosphate buffer, magnesium sulfate, and calcium chloride solutions
