PROCEDURE:
CAREFULLY READ AND FOLLOW PRECAUTIONS ON REAGENT LABELS.
KEEP REAGENTS AWAY FROM CHILDREN.

NOTE: R-0891MolybdenumIndicatorSolutionhasalimitedshelf-life.Occasionallycheck
indicator performance by following procedure for 1 drop = 2 ppm using R-0887
Molybdenum Standard 20 ppm as the sample. Titration should require 10 drops
toendpoint.(An alternate kit, K-1805P,isavailable, which replacesR-0891 witha
stable,two-partreagentsystem.)
