5? Reagents Use only reagents of recognized analytical grade, unless otherwise specified, and distilled or demineralized water or water of equivalent purity. The reagents shall leave no appreciable residue when the determination is carried out by the method specified (see 9.2.2). 5.1? Ammonia solution, containing a mass fraction of NH 3 of approximately 25 % (? 20 = 91 0 g/l). NOTE? If ammonia solution of this concentration is not available, a more concentrated solution of known concentration may be used (see 9.4.2). 5.2? Ethanol (C 2 H 5 OH), or ethanol denatured by methanol, containing a volume fraction of ethanol of at least 94 %. (See A.5.) 5.3? Congo red solution Dissolve 1 g of Congo red in water in a 1 00 ml one-mark volumetric flask (6.1 4). Dilute to the mark with water. NOTE? The use of this solution, which allows the interface between the solvent and aqueous layers to be seen more clearly, is optional (see 9.4.4). Other aqueous colour solutions may be used provided that they do not affect the result of the determination. 5.4? Diethyl ether (C 2 H 5 OC 2 H 5 ), free from peroxides (see A.3), containing no more than 2 mg/kg of antioxidants, and complying with the requirements for the blank test (see 9.2.2, A.1 and A.4). NOTE? The use of diethyl ether could lead to hazardous situations. Due to expected changes in safety regulations, studies are ongoing to replace diethyl ether by another reagent provided that it does not affect the end result of the determination. 5.5? Light petroleum, with any boiling range between 30 °C and 60 °C or, as equivalent, pentane (CH 3 [CH 2 ] 3 CH 3 ) with a boiling point of 36 °C and complying with the requirements for the blank test (see 9.2.2, A.1 and A.4). NOTE? The use of pentane is recommended because of its higher purity and constant quality. 5.6? Mixed solvent Shortly before use, mix equal volumes of diethyl ether (5.4) and light petroleum (5.5). 6? Apparatus WARNING — Since the determination involves the use of volatile flammable solvents, all electrical apparatus employed shall comply with legislation relating to the hazards in using such solvents. Usual laboratory equipment and, in particular, the following. 6.1? Analytical balance, capable of weighing to the nearest 1 mg, with a readability of 0,1 mg. 6.2? Centrifuge, capable of holding the fat-extraction flasks or tubes (6.6) and capable of spinning at a rotational frequency of 500 min –1 to 600 min –1 to produce a radial acceleration of 80 g to 90 g at the outer end of the flasks or tubes. NOTE? The use of the centrifuge is optional but recommended (see 9.4.7). 6.3? Distillation or evaporation apparatus, for distilling the solvents and ethanol from the boiling or conical flasks, or evaporating from beakers and dishes (see 9.4.1 4) at a temperature not exceeding 1 00 °C.6.4? Drying oven, electrically heated, with ventilation port(s) fully open, capable of being maintained at a temperature of 1 02 °C ? 2 °C throughout its working space. The oven shall be fitted with a suitable thermometer. 6.5? Water bath, capable of being maintained at a temperature of 65 °C ? 5 °C. 6.6? Mojonnier-type fat-extraction flasks, as specified in ISO 3889. NOTE? It is also possible to use fat-extraction tubes, with siphon or wash-bottle fittings, but then the procedure is different. The alternative procedure is given in annex B. The fat-extraction flasks shall be provided with good quality corks or stoppers of another material [e.g. silicone rubber or polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)] unaffected by the reagents used. Bark corks shall be extracted with the diethyl ether (5.4), kept in water at a temperature of 60 °C or more for at least 1 5 min, and shall then be allowed to cool in the water so that they are saturated when used. 6.7? Rack, for holding the fat-extraction flasks (or tubes) (6.6). 6.8? Wash bottle, suitable for use with the mixed solvent (5.6). BS EN ISO 1736  pdf download.
