Instruction Manual TN-100/ T-100

Degassing is recommended even if no bubbles are visible. There are three
methods commonly used for degassing:
Addition of a surfactant: This involves adding a surfactant to the
water samples to lower the surface tension of the water, thereby
releasing trapped gasses.
Application of a partial vacuum: Partial vacuum can be created
by using simple syringe or vacuum pump. (This is only
recommended for ultra-low turbidity measurement).
Use of an ultrasonic bath: This may be effective in severe
conditions or in viscous samples, but not recommended for
ultra-low measurements.
Each of the method above has its own advantages and disadvantages.
For instance, under certain sample conditions, the use of vacuum pump or
ultrasonic bath may actually increase the presence of gas bubbles.

Timeliness of Sample
Samples should be measured immediately to prevent changes in particle
characteristics due to temperature and settling. Temperature can affect
particles by changing their behavior or creating new particles if precipitates
are formed. Dilution water may dissolve particles or change their
characteristics. It is recommended to take samples only when the
turbidimeter is ready to be operated. Samples should not be drawn and
allowed to sit while the instrument warms up or is being readied.

Other Important Sampling Techniques
1. Samples should not be violently shaken or agitated as particles can be
broken apart or air may be entrapped into the fluid. Gentle agitation
such as swirling the sample vial is advisable to reduce particle settling.
2. Sample vials should be used only with the instruments for which they
were intended. Do not mix and match.
3. Perform a visual observation of the sample vial every time a
measurement is made. Ensure that there are no visible bubbles in the
sample and the vial is clean and free of scratches.
4. Samples entering the turbidimeter should be at the same temperature
as the process flow samples. Changes in temperature can cause
precipitation of soluble compounds and affect readings.
5. Sample vials should be evaluated with a low turbidity water (after
cleaning) to determine if cells remain matched. If the evaluation
determines that a cell is corrupted, discard the vial. It is recommended
to conduct this evaluation weekly.
6. When in doubt or question about whether a sample vial is too
scratched or stained, throw it away.
