Standard for Cationic Surfactants
Preparation of a standard solution for cationic surfactants

Reagents:
Cat.No. 102342 N-Cetyl-N,N,N-trimethylammonium bromide for analysis
Cat.No. 116754 Water for analysis

Preparation of a standard solution:

Dissolve 1.00 g of N-cetyl-N,N,N-trimethylammonium bromide for analysis with distilled water in a calibrated or
conformity-checked 1000-ml volumetric flask and make up to the mark with distilled water. The stock solution
prepared according to this procedure has a concentration of 1000 mg/l cationic surfactants.

Further investigational concentrations may be prepared from this stock solution by diluting accordingly.

Stability:
When stored in a cool place (refrigerator), the stock solution remains stable for one month. The diluted
investigational solutions must be used immediately.
