Method: photometric 0.05 - 1.50 mg/l CTAB Spectroquant®

The method is analogous to DIN 38409-20.

This Spectroquant® Surfactants (cation.) Cell Test allows the determination cationic surfactants (hydrophilic end carries a positive charge) in water samples. Surfactants are additives that lower the surface tension of water such as foaming agents, emulsifiers, and detergents. Most surfactants enter the waterways as part of household waste or have their origin in industrial processes and often facilitate the introduction of other contaminates. Enhanced levels of surfactants might cause a hazard for plants, animals, and humans.

The Spectroquant® Cell Tests come with prefilled 16 mm round cells and all the required reagents to perform the analysis according to the instruction leaflet provided.
