The article compares two methods for determination of alkalinity - titration method (Hach) and colorimetric (Hanna.)

Sorry might be a dumb question but is the hach method used on icp or n-doc testing from triton?

It's my understanding that metal concentrations are determined by ICP, not sure how they measure alkalinity. Perhaps someone wiith direct experience with Triton can chime in.

According to a tube vid, a triton rep mentioned that the alkalinity is measured in different ways on a icp test kit From a n-doc test kit, may be wrong though. I will look forward to read the article

Did they kill the thread?
I submitted the article and got a reply that it is under review. It's out of my hands, but I'll try to find out what's going on.

Wait, they actually have to review an article from @Dana Riddle? ;Blackeye
