NOTE: For the best possible results, a reagent blank should be determined to

account for any contribution to the test result by the reagent system. To determine

the reagent blank, follow the above test procedure to scan a distilled or deionized

water blank. Add 5 drops of Aluminum Complexing Reagent (7868). Then follow the

above procedure to perform the test on a distilled or deionized water sample. This

test result is the reagent blank. Subtract the reagent blank from all subsequent test

results of unknown samples. It is necessary to determine the reagent blank only

when a new lot number of reagents is obtained.
