DearCustomer,
Thank you for choosing a Hanna Product. Please read the
instructions carefully before using the chemical test kit. It
will provide you with the necessary information for correct
use of the kit.
Remove the chemical test kit from the packing material and
examine it carefully to make sure that no damage has
occurred during shipping. If there is any noticeable dam-
age, notify your Dealer or the nearest Hanna office
immediately.
Each kit is supplied with:
• HI 3859A-0 Glycol Yes/No Reagent, 1 bottle (125
mL);
• HI3859B-0GlycolYes/NoReagent, packets(25pcs);
• HI3859C-0 GlycolYes/NoReagent, packets (25pcs);
• HI 3859 Glycol Standard 0.025%, 1 bottle with
dropper (25 mL);
• 1 plastic pipette (3mL), for HI 3859A-0 Reagent;
• 25 plastic pipettes (1 mL);
• 2 glass vials (10 mL) with cap;
• 1 brush.
Note: Any damaged or defective item must be returned
in its original packing materials.

CHEMICAL REACTION
Ethylene glycol and other 1,2 glycols are determined by a
two step reaction:
Step 1: glycol is oxidized to two carbonyl groups under
acidicconditions;
Step 2: the carbonyl groups react with the indicator in
the HI 3859C-0 reagent powder packet to give a
coloredsolution.
Ethylene glycol is widely used as a coolant and antifreeze.
Its presence in motor oils is an indication of a perforated
engine block or of a leakage in the cooling systems. The
Hanna Glycol test kit can be used for water as well as oil
samplesto determine traces of ethyleneglycoland other 1,2
glycols above 30 ppm. For better results test samples from
used motor oil: samples from new oils can give erroneous
positive results. Never test oils from hot engines. Use the HI
3859 Glycol Standard 0.025% included in the Kit to easily
recognize a positive result in the form of an intense purple
color.

READ THE ENTIRE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THE KIT
Note: to learn how to recognize the pres-
ence of glycol you can use the HI
3859 Glycol Standard 0.025%.
Procedure: add 10 drops of HI 3859
Glycol Standard 0.025% to 0.5 mL
of your sample and follow the in-
structions below: an intense purple
colorwilldevelop.
• Unscrew the cap of the glass vial
and fill it with 5 mL of HI 3859A-0
reagent to the mark using the 3
mL plastic pipette. Add 0.5 mL of
your sample using the 1 mL plastic
pipette.
• Add the content of one packet of HI 3859B-0 reagent,
replace the cap and mix until any solid element is
totallydissolved.
• Wait for 20-25 minutes or place the vial in hot tap
water for 5 minutes.
• Carefully unscrew the vial and add one packet of HI
3859C-0 reagent; replace the cap and mix well until
the reagent is completely dissolved.
• Wait for 75 minutes at room temperature or place the

vial in hot tap water for 20 minutes.
• Detect the presence/absence of glycol in your sample by
the color developed:
ppmofglycol Color
0-30 yellow-brown
30-75 light purple
more than 75 dark purple
Note:always wait for the final color to be developed. Colors
can turn from
yellow to colorless to light purple (for low range
glycol)
orange to grey/green to dark purple (for high range
glycol)
Note: before performing a new test, rinse thoroughly the
vial under water and clean it by means of the brush
with some soap.
Warning: HI 3859B-0 and HI 3859C-0 reagents can be
disposed as ordinary refuse. HI 3859A-0 reagent
and the content of the vial after use are generally
classified as special wastes. Arrange disposal with a
Chemical Disposal company or contact your Local
Authorities for advice.
