9.6.3 Double standard addition
In the Double standard addition procedure, a known amount of stan-
dard solution is added to the sample in two steps.
First, one percent of the sample volume is added, then 2 percent of the
sample volume is added.
The ion concentration in the sample is calculated from the change in
potential between the first and second addition of standard solution.

up.
The Sample register is open.
3 In the Sample register, enter the values for the sample volume
(Sample volume) and the volume of the ISA/TISAB solution
(ISA/TISAB volume) as necessary.
4 Use [Dosing] to automatically add the adjusted volume of the
ISA/TISAB solution (ISA/TISAB volume).
or
If the burette control is inactive:
Add the adjusted volume of the ISA/TISAB solution (ISA/TISAB
volume) manually.
