Full Description

Applicable to products having a Ca content of more than 50 mg/kg. Soluble SiO2 present in the solution at levels lower than 5 g/ml does not interfere. The principle consists in addition, to a hydrochloric acid solution of the test portion, of sodium ions to promote and stabilize the emission of calcium and of lanthanum ions to suppress the interference of aluminium.
