Description
Detection principle
Under acid conditions, the oxidizing material in the sample can oxidize Fe2+ to Fe3+, which binds highly with xylenol orange to produce a blue-purple complex. When the pH of solution is in the range of 2-3, its maximum absorption wavelength is around 590 nm, and the color depth is proportional to the content of oxidation substances in a certain concentration and a certain time, so as to indirectly calculate the total oxidation state of the sample.

Dilution of sample
It is recommended to take 2~3 samples with expected large difference to do pre-experiment before formal experiment and dilute the sample according to the result of the pre-experiment and the detection range (2.5-100 μmol H2O2 Equiv./L).
The recommended dilution factor for different samples is as follows (for reference only):
