Test preparation
Instrument specific information

The table in this section shows all of the instruments that have the program for this test.
Table 1 shows sample cell and orientation requirements for reagent addition tests, such
as powder pillow or bulk reagent tests.
To use the table, select an instrument, then read across to find the corresponding
information for this test.

Before starting
Install the instrument cap on the DR 900 cell holder before ZERO or READ is pushed.
Clean sample cells with soap, water and a brush soon after each test to prevent a build-up of film on the sample cells.
Filter samples that are turbid with filter paper and a funnel.
Do not use the Pour-Thru Cell or sipper module (for applicable instruments) with this test.
Review the Safety Data Sheets (MSDS/SDS) for the chemicals that are used and use any recommended personal protective
equipment.
Dispose of reacted solutions according to local, state and federal regulations. Use the Safety Data Sheets for disposal
information for unused reagents. Consult the environmental, health and safety staff for your facility and/or local regulatory
agencies for further disposal information.

Standard solution method
Use the standard solution method to validate the test procedure, reagents and
instrument.
Items to collect:
• 1.000 g cyanuric acid
• 1-L volumetric flask, Class A
• 100-mL volumetric flask, Class A
• 3-mL volumetric pipet, Class A and pipet filler
• Deionized water
1. Prepare a 1000-mg/L cyanuric acid stock solution as follows:

a. Add 1.000 g of cyanuric acid into a 1-L volumetric flask. Add several hundred mL
of deionized water and mix well. The cyanuric acid can take several hours to
dissolve.
b. Dilute to the mark with deionized water. Mix well. This solution is stable for
several weeks.
2. Prepare a 30 mg/L cyanuric acid standard solution as follows:
a. Use a pipet to add 3.00 mL of the 1000-mg/L cyanuric acid stock solution into a
100-mL volumetric flask.

b. Dilute to the mark with deionized water. Mix well. Prepare the standard solution
each day.
3. Use the test procedure to measure the concentration of the prepared standard
solution.
4. Compare the expected result to the actual result.
Note: The factory calibration can be adjusted slightly with the standard adjust option so that the
instrument shows the expected value of the standard solution. The adjusted calibration is then
used for all test results. This adjustment can increase the test accuracy when there are slight
variations in the reagents or instruments.
Method performance
The method performance data that follows was derived from laboratory tests that were
measured on a spectrophotometer during ideal test conditions. Users may get different
results under different test conditions.

Summary of method
The test for cyanuric acid uses the turbidimetric method. Cyanuric Acid 2 Reagent
precipitates any cyanuric acid in the sample and holds it in suspension. The amount of
turbidity caused by the suspended particles is directly proportional to the amount of
cyanuric acid in the sample. The measurement wavelength is 480 nm for
spectrophotometers or 520 nm for colorimeters.
