Repeat this measurement after a further 20 min (A 3 ). 5.7 Centrifuge, capable of producing a centrifugal acceleration of 2 900 g at the base of centrifuge tubes (5.8), optional. 5.8 Centrifuge tubes, of suitable capacity. 5.9 Refrigerator, capable of being maintained at 4 C. 6 Procedure 6

39、.1 Sample preparation Bring sample material which has been stored in a cool place to room temperature. Mix the entire contents of the container in a suitable mixer (5.1), if necessary grinding and homogenizing it. Ensure that the temperature of the sample does not exceed 60 C. For fluid samples, if

40、necessary, dilute the sample to be analysed until the nitrate concentration is 30 mg/l to 300 mg/l. The resultant sample solution can be used for the determination without further preparation even if it is coloured, a volume (V 2 ) of 0,1 ml being taken for the test. 6.2 Determination 6.2.1 Sample s

41、olution preparation Weigh out about 5 g or another suitable amount of the sample prepared as specified in 6.1 to the nearest milligram into a 100 ml conical flask, and add 50 ml of boiling water. Cover the flask with a watch glass, place it in a boiling water bath (e.g. glass beaker) for 20 min to 3

42、0 min, stirring to prevent the formation of lumps (see 5.2). Prevent overheating the bottom of the conical flask by avoiding direct contact with the bottom of the water bath. Remove the magnetic stirrer, add 5,0 ml of Carrez solution No. 1 (4.1), and shake the mixture for 5 s to 10 s. Then add 5,0 m

43、l of Carrez solution No. 2 (4.2) and shake again for 5 s to 10 s. Adjust the pH of the mixture to a value of 8 to 9 (but not greater than 9) with sodium hydroxide solution (4.3) and shake again. Cool the contents of the conical flask to room temperature and filter quantitatively into a 100 ml volume

44、tric flask, V 1 , rinsing out the last portions with water. If the initial sample mass is high, for example more than 10 g, it is advisable to centrifuge the clarified sample mixture for 10 min at 2 900g before filtering it quantitatively into the 100 ml volumetric flask. Wash the settled matter twi

45、ce with water and centrifuge again, collect each of the supernatants in the 100 ml volumetric flask and then dilute the solution to the mark with water. Shake the volumetric flask and place it in a refrigerator (5.9) at approximately 4 C for 30 min to allow any fat to separate. Then filter the conte

46、nts of the flask through a fluted filter paper (5.3), discarding the first few millilitres of the filtrate. Collect the filtrate (sample solution) in a conical flask having a ground glass stopper. Use the sample solution to determine nitrate content employing 1,0 ml (V 2 )i n the test. Any slight cl

47、oudiness will not normally interfere with the determination. 6.2.2 Measurement of the enzymatic reaction Carry out the determination at about 20 C. The absorption maximum of NADPH occurs at a wavelength of 340 nm. If a spectrometer (5.6) is used, carry out the measurements at the absorption maximum,

48、 only, but if a spectral-line filter photometer fitted with a mercury vapour lamp is used, work at a wavelength of 365 nm or 334 nm. The change (decrease) in the absorbance of the test solution (A 1 2 A 2 ) test solution should be between 0,1 and 0,5. If the change in the absorbance is too small, th

49、e volume of the sample solution pipetted into the cell may be increased (up to 2,00 ml). In such cases, reduce the quantity of water used so that the cells for the test solution and the blank contain the same total volume. If the change in absorbance is too great, dilute the sample solution. If such steps are necessary, allow for the change in the dilution factor (F) in the calculation. Only one blank per series is necessary.Page 5 EN 12014-5 : 1997 BSI 1997 7 Calculation In the reaction which fo
