The Series 5000 Silica Analyzer uses three chemical reagents and a silica
standard solution. Molybdate 3 Reagent, Citric Acid/Surfactant Reagent,
Amino Acid F Reagent and Silica Standard Solution, 500 μg/l are
factory-prepared and ready to use. Amino Acid F reagent is supplied in
two parts to ensure a long shelf life: a 3-liter bottle of Amino Acid F Solution
and a bottle of Amino Acid F Reagent powder. Amino Acid F Reagent
powder must be added to the solution immediately before installation in the
analyzer (see Section 2.2.2.1). A powder funnel is included in the installation
kit for this purpose.
