Abstract
A manual method for the quantitative determination of urea in seawater was developed based on the reaction of urea with diacetylmonoxime. Critical factors include the treatment of collection bottles, sample storage, pre-filtration techniques, water purification, reaction temperature and reproducible cooling of samples during analysis. The limit of detection was 0·14 μg-at urea-N 1 −1 with Beer's Law being obeyed in the range tested of 0–15 μg-at urea-N 1 −1 . The precision (±1 SD) of replicate samples of 1,2 and 15 μg-at urea-N 1 -1 was 0·024, 0·019 and 0·03 μg-at urea-N 1 −1 ( n = 10) respectively.
