Cartridge Preparation
1. Remove the plunger of the 20 ml syringe from the barrel and attach the C18 cartridge.
2. Add 5 ml of KS336 (Propan-2-ol) to the syringe barrel, attach the plunger and pass drop-
wise through the cartridge. Discard the eluent to waste.
3. Remove plunger and fill the syringe barrel with 20 ml of deionised/tap water. Attach
the plunger and pass dropwise through the cartridge. Discard the eluent to waste. The
cartridge is now ready to be used/reused.
Interference removal
1. Transfer exactly 20 ml of sample water to a 100 ml sample bottle and dilute to approxi-
mately 50-60 ml with deionised water or tap water.

barrel attached to the cartridge followed by 1 ml (25 drops) of KS255 (Polyacrylate Rea-
gent 1). Gently swirl the syringe to mix.
