The Indigo Carmine Method
References: ASTM D 888-87, Dissolved Oxygen in Water, Test Method A. Gilbert, T. W., Behymer, T. D.,Castañeda, H. B., “Determination of Dissolved Oxygen
in Natural and Wastewaters,” American Laboratory, March 1982, pp. 119-134.
Test kits for environmental and drinking water applications (ppm range) employ the indigo carmine method.
The reduced form of indigo carmine reacts with D.O. to form a blue product. The indigo carmine methodology is not subject to interferences from temperature, salinity,
or dissolved gases such as sulfide, which plague users of D.O. meters. Results are expressed as ppm (mg/L) O2.
