Take ammonium biflouride powder bottle from refrigerator.Open only in presence of Head of department as it is very harmful chemical.
Dont use any glass containers for making ammonium biflouride stock solution as ammonium biflouride erodes the glass.
Take 500 ml DI water in 500 ml glass volumetric flask(as we dont have plastic 500ml volumetric flask and we are using this flask for measuring DI water and rest of the procedure done in plastic beaker) and take out 21.5 ml DI water with 10 ml graduated pipette with pipetter.
Add remaining DI water of 500 ml volumetric flask in 1 liter of plastic beaker.
Add 21.5 ml 10% HCL(35% W/W, Density=1.18 , MW=36.46) in 1 liter of plastic beaker.
Add 1.425 gms ammonium bifluoride(MW=57.0) in 1 liter of plastic beaker and dissolve it by tip of 500 ul pippette.
This is stock solution of 0.05N ammonium bifluoride+0.05N Hcl.
Fill 15 ml DI water in 15 ml plastic reagent bottle with 10 ml greduated pipette with pipetter.and note the mark on that bottle.Use this mark as reference for filling other bottles with ammonium biflouride stock solution.
Fill approximately(as described above) 15 ml of this solution in 15 ml reagent plastic bottle directly from 1 liter of plastic beaker.
Make such 32-35 bottles
reagent expiry is up to 1 year.
