CHEMICAL REACTION
Copper salts react with bicinchoninate reagent to form a
purple product in a neutral buffered condition. The amount
of color developed is proportional to the concentration of
copper present in the aqueous sample.
Copper is an essential trace element in human diet (the
daily requirement is around 2.0 mg) and a factor in plant
metabolism. Copper salts are used in water supply systems

alloys in pipe fittings on the other hand may introduce
considerable quantities into the water supplies.
Note: mg/L is equivalent to ppm (parts per million).
