Sample preparation shall be carried out in accordance with EN 1482-2. 8 Procedure 8.1 Preparation of the test solution Weigh approximately 5 g of the sample (m) into a 100 ml volumetric flask to the

26、nearest 0,1 mg, add approximately 70 ml of water, dissolve in the ultrasonic bath (6.2) and make up to the mark with water. Filtrate this solution straight into a vial through a syringe filter (6.3) to remove any conditioning agents. This solution is used for the determination. NOTE If paraffin is u

27、sed as conditioning agent, see 8.2. 8.2 Preparation of the test solution in the presence of paraffins as conditioning agents Weigh approximately 5 g of the sample (m) into a 100 ml measuring flask to the nearest 0,1 mg, add approximately 70 ml of water, dissolve in the ultrasonic bath (6.2) and fill

28、 up to the mark with water. Add 2 ml of n-hexane (5.4) to this solution, shake thoroughly and fill the solution into a separation funnel. The n-hexane with the dissolved paraffin lies above the aqueous phase with the active substance. Filtrate the aqueous phase straight into a vial through a syringe

29、 filter (6.3). 8.3 Preparation of the calibration solutions To obtain the calibration curve, prepare the following dilution series according to Table 1 from the 2-NPT standard solution (5.2) (each in a 100 ml measuring flask): 1) Synergi Fusion-RP80 4 m, 250 mm 4,6 mm or equivalent.
