Detergents can be introduced into the water supply by industry, soap manufacturers, and private households. Environmental analysts often include a determination of anionic detergents when assessing surface water pollution.The Methylene Blue MethodReferences: USEPA Methods for Chemical Analysis of Water and Wastes, Method 425.1 (1983). APHA Standard Methods, 23rd ed., Method 5540 C - 2000. ASTM D 2330-02, Methylene Blue Active Substances.The methylene blue active substances (MBAS) method is used in a 3-minute procedure to measure anionic detergents. The procedure features a unique extraction/sampling technique that eliminates several steps required in other test procedures and provides increased sensitivity.Anionic detergents react with methylene blue to form a blue-colored complex that is extracted into an immiscible organic solvent. Results are expressed in ppm (mg/L) as linear alkylbenzene sulfonate (LAS), equivalent weight 325.Range: 0-3 ppm MDL: 0.125 ppmMethod: Methylene BlueKit comes in a cardboard box and contains everything needed to perform 20 tests: Refill, Comparator, reaction tube with lid, tip breaking tool, and instructions.Shelf-life: 5 months.
