FILLING: Multiple-Use Disks
When the syringe is placed in the water sample, and the plunger is
pulled all the way up, the syringe will hold more than enough water
sample to adequately fi ll the disk. Hold the syringe vertically and
insert the tip into the fi ll hole in the disk. Press the plunger slowly and
smoothly to fi ll the disk..
1. Fill any unused section of the disk using slow, even
pressure. Add the sample water until the Blank
Chamber is full and the Over Flow Chamber is partially
fi lled.
2. Do not overfi ll the disk. If the disk is overfi lled, sample
water will fl ow out of the vent hole in the center of the
disk. The disk is not leaking. Dry the disk and run the
test.
3. Do not under fi ll the disk. If the disk is under fi lled, the
blank chamber will not be full. The reagent chambers
will not fi ll entirely and results will be inaccurate.
4. Do not introduce air bubbles into the disk. The reagent
chambers will not fi ll entirely and results will be
inaccurate. As soon as a bubble starts to form, pull
back on the plunger to draw the bubble out of the disk.
Begin the fi lling process again.
5. Wet disks should be dried thoroughly with a lint free
wipe. Handle the disk by the edges. Between tests
store the disk on a fl at surface. Do not agitate a
partially fi lled disk to avoid leaking and contamination.
Partially used disks should be discarded at the end of
the day.
6. Disks should be fi lled and used within 10 minutes. They cannot be fi lled ahead of
time.
