BACKGROUND [0002] Soil analysis of agricultural fields allows a grower to know whether there are sufficient amounts of nutrients in the soil for planting. If one or more nutrients is deficient, then the nutrient can be added to soil. There are many standardized soil tests available today, such as measurement of pH with a pH meter and measurement of soil nutrients by atomic spectroscopy. These tests, however, were designed for laboratory testing, and they are not suitable for an on the go soil sampling system. It would be desirable to test soil samples on the go with soil tests that can provide results while in the field.

[0026] The compositions and methods described below can be used with on the go soil sampling systems, such as those described in PCT Publication No. WO2020/012369A2. Also, the tests and methods can be used in a laboratory. When used in on the go systems, it is desirable to obtain results in a short period of time (shorter than traditional laboratory testing) so that multiple samples can be tested while traversing the field. This allows a grower to adjust application rates of nutrients in real time. [0027] As demonstrated by FIG. 1, a filtration-based analysis system 100 may be used in accordance with soil analysis. The filtration-based system 100 may comprise an analysis tool 110 having housing 111 having an input 120 and an output 130. The input 120 may be fluidly coupled to the output 130, whereby one or more filtration elements are positioned there-between. The filtration-based analysis system 100 may be configured such that a fluid may be introduced to the housing 111 of the analysis tool 110 via the input 120 and pass through the housing 111 along a flow direction FD to reach the output 130, whereby the fluid may pas through the one or more filtration elements located inside of the housing 111 between the input 120 and the output 130. As the liquid flows along the flow direction FD, the liquid passes through the filtration element and is subjected to a filtration step – as discussed in greater detail herein. [0028] After the filtration step, the liquid may further be subject to a chemical analysis as the liquid flows along the flow direction FD from the input 120 to the output 130 – as discussed in greater detail herein. [0029] In a non-limiting embodiment, the housing 111 may be formed of a polymeric material. Non-limiting examples of polymeric material may include one or more of an acrylic polymer, polycarbonate, and polyurethane. In a non-limiting embodiment, the housing 111 may be formed of an inorganic material. Non-limiting examples of inorganic material may include one or more of glass – such as borosilicate glass. [0030] According to the embodiment demonstrated by FIG. 1, the analysis tool 110 may be configured within the filtration-based analysis system 100 such that flow direction FD extends along the gravitational direction GD. The term “gravitational direction” refers to the natural downward direction of earth’s gravity. According to this embodiment, the filtration-based analysis system 100 of FIG.1 may be configured such that the liquid may pass between the input 120 and the output 130 under solely the effects of gravity. [0031] In a non-limiting embodiment, the filtration-based analysis system 100 is shown in FIG. 1 to be configured such that flow direction FD extends substantially parallel to the gravitational direction GD. The term “substantially parallel” refers to an angle between two lines that is 0˚ ± 2˚. In some embodiments, the filtration-based analysis system 100 may be configured such that flow direction FD extends parallel to the gravitational direction GD. [0032] Although not shown in FIG. 1, the filtration-based analysis system 100 may also be configured such that the flow direction FD and the gravitational direction GD are oriented at a first oblique angle so long as the liquid may pass between the input 120 and the output 130 under solely the effects of gravity. In a non-limiting embodiment, the first oblique angle between the flow direction FD and the gravitational direction GD may range from about 1˚ to about 45˚ - including all angles and sub-ranges there-between. [0033] According to the present disclosure, the filtration-based analysis system 100 may be free of a centrifuge. [0034] As demonstrated by FIG. 3, a filtration-based analysis system 100a may be used in accordance with soil analysis. The filtration-based system 100a may comprise an analysis tool 110a having housing 111a having an input 120a and an output 130a. The input 120a may be fluidly coupled to the output 130a, whereby one or more filtration elements are positioned there- between. The filtration-based analysis system 100a may be configured such that a fluid may be introduced to the housing 111a of the analysis tool 110a via the input 120a and pass through the housing 111a along a flow direction FD to reach the output 130a, whereby the fluid may pass through the one or more filtration elements located inside of the housing 111a between the input 120a and the output 130a. As the liquid flows along the flow direction FD, the liquid passes through the filtration element and is subjected to a filtration step – as discussed in greater detail herein. [0035] After the filtration step, the liquid may further be subject to a chemical analysis as the liquid flows along the flow direction FD from the input 120a to the output 130a – as discussed in greater detail herein. [0036] In a non-limiting embodiment, the housing 111a may be formed of a polymeric material. Non-limiting examples of polymeric material may include one or more of an acrylic polymer, polycarbonate, and polyurethane. In a non-limiting embodiment, the housing 111a may be formed of an inorganic material. Non-limiting examples of inorganic material may include one or more of glass – such as borosilicate glass. [0037] According to the embodiment demonstrated by FIG. 3, the analysis tool 110a may be configured within the filtration-based analysis system 100a such that flow direction FD extends along the gravitational direction GD. According to this embodiment, the filtration-based analysis system 100a of FIG.3 may be configured such that the liquid may pass between the input 120a and the output 130a against the effects of gravity. According to this embodiment, the flow direction FD of the liquid may be facilitated by a pump that applies pressure to the liquid which overcomes the force of gravity to allow the liquid to flow along the FD and pass between the input 120a and the output 130a against the effects of gravity. [0038] In a non-limiting embodiment, the filtration-based analysis system 100a is shown in FIG. 3 to be configured such that flow direction FD extends substantially parallel to the gravitational direction GD. The term “substantially parallel” refers to an angle between two lines that is 0˚ ± 2˚. In some embodiments, the filtration-based analysis system 100a may be configured such that flow direction FD extends parallel to the gravitational direction GD. [0039] Although not shown in FIG. 3, the filtration-based analysis system 100a may also be configured such that the flow direction FD and the gravitational direction GD are oriented at a third oblique angle ranging from about 1˚ to about 45˚ - including all angles and sub-ranges there-between. [0040] As demonstrated by FIG. 2, a filtration-based analysis system 200 may be used in accordance with soil analysis. The filtration-based analysis system 200 may comprise an analysis tool 210 having housing 211 having an input 220 and an output 230. The input 220 may be fluidly coupled to the output 230, whereby one or more filtration elements are positioned there-between. The filtration-based analysis system 200 may be configured such that a fluid may be introduced to the housing 211 of the analysis tool 210 via the input 220 and pass through the housing 211 along a flow direction FD to reach the output 230, whereby the fluid passes through the one or more filtration elements located inside of the housing 211 between the input 220 and the output 230. As the liquid flows along the flow direction FD, the liquid passes through the filtration element and is subjected to a filtration step – as discussed in greater detail herein. [0041] After the filtration step, the liquid may further be subject to a chemical analysis as the liquid flows along the flow direction FD from the input 220 to the output 230 – as discussed in greater detail herein. [0042] According to the embodiment demonstrated by FIG. 2, the analysis tool 210 may be configured within the filtration-based analysis system 200 such that flow direction FD extends substantially orthogonal to the gravitational direction GD. The term “substantially orthogonal” refers to an angle between two lines that is 90˚ ± 2˚. According to this embodiment, the filtration-based analysis system 200 of FIG.2 may be configured such that at least a portion of the liquid may not pass between the input 220 and the output 230 under solely the effects of gravity during the filtration step. [0043] In a non-limiting embodiment, the filtration-based analysis system 200 is shown in FIG. 2 to be configured such that flow direction FD extends orthogonal to the gravitational direction GD. Although not shown in FIG.2, the filtration-based analysis system 200 of FIG.2 may also be configured such that the flow direction FD and the gravitational direction GD are oriented at a second oblique angle so long as at least a portion of the liquid may not pass between the input 220 and the output 230 under solely the effects of gravity. In a non-limiting embodiment, the second oblique angle between the flow direction FD and the gravitational direction GD may range from about 45˚ to about 90˚ - including all angles and sub-ranges there-between. [0044] According to the present disclosure, the filtration-based analysis system 200 may be free of a centrifuge. [0045] The soil analysis may be performed to determine an elemental content of a soil sample. Non-limiting examples of element content include potassium, magnesium, calcium, and phosphorus. [0046] The soil analysis may be performed by collecting a soil extract or soil sample. The soil sample may be taken directly from the ground can be used without first drying and grinding. The soil sample may be mixed in a 1:2 weight to 1:3 weight ratio with a liquid, such as water, to form a slurry. In other embodiments, a weight ratio of soil to liquid is 1:1 to 1:5 – including all ratios and sub-ranges there-between. [0047] In some embodiments, the slurry may be mixed with a flocculating agent. Non-limiting examples of flocculating agent include, but are not limited to, calcium chloride, polyacrylamide, cationic polyacrylamide, anionic polyacrylamide, polydiallyldimethyl ammonium chloride (PDADMAC), epichlorohydin/dimethylamine copolymer (ECH/DMA), chitosan, and polyaluminum chlorides. In one embodiment, the flocculating agent may be calcium chloride. In another embodiment, the flocculating agent may be a combination of polyacrylamide and calcium chloride. In another embodiment, the flocculating agent may be polyacrylamide. The amount of flocculating agent varies on the type of flocculating agent chosen. [0048] The flocculating agent amount may be chosen to remove organic materials and/or reduce or eliminate cloudiness. In one embodiment, a 0.017M CaCl ₂ ·2H ₂ O solution is used. Alternatively, the anhydride or other hydrates of calcium chloride may be used. In one embodiment, a molar concentration for calcium chloride is 0.005M to 0.1M – including all concentrations and sub-ranges there-between. [0049] The soil slurry may be mixed with the flocculating agent in a volume ratio of 9:1 soil slurry:flocculating agent. In other embodiments, a volume ratio of slurry to flocculating agent may be 1:1 to 10:1 – including all ratios and sub-ranges there-between. In another embodiment, the calcium chloride solution can be replaced with a 0.025 weight% polyacrylamide solution. In one embodiment, the polyacrylamide can have a weight average molecular weight of 5,000,000 to 6,000,000 (CAS 9003-05-8). Other flocculating agents can be used in amounts that provide the same amount of flocculation as the above calcium chloride or polyacrylamide solutions. The soil slurry and flocculating agent are centrifuged to form the soil extract. [0050] In a non-limiting embodiment, soil samples may be prepared as for typical laboratory testing by drying, crushing, and filtering to less than 2 mm particle size. Multiple samples are prepared to provide a sufficient number to generate a calibration curve. [0051] Potassium Analysis [0052] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, potassium may be tested according to the following methodologies. A soil sample may be obtained and blended with liquid to create the soil slurry. The soil slurry may then flow through the filter element to create a filtrate, whereby one or more reagent may be added to the filtrate to create a mixture. [0053] The soil mixture may then be analyzed for potassium content by absorbance that may be read via a spectrophotometer at a wave length ranging from 380 nm to 550 nm – preferably 410 nm to about 510 nm – including all wavelengths and sub-ranges there-between. [0054] In some embodiments, the potassium content analysis may occur inside of the analysis tool 110 and as the soil mixture flows along the vertical FD, whereby the vertical FD is substantially parallel to gravitational direction GD such that the soil mixture flows downward at least partially under the effects of gravity. In some embodiments, the potassium content analysis may occur inside of the analysis tool 110a and as the soil mixture flows along the vertical FD, whereby the vertical FD is substantially parallel to gravitational direction GD such that the soil mixture flows upward against the effects of gravity. [0055] In alternative embodiments, the potassium content analysis may occur inside of the analysis tool 210 and as the soil mixture flows along the horizontal FD, whereby the horizontal FD is substantially orthogonal to the gravitational direction GD and the soil slurry flows horizontally through the analysis tool 210. [0056] According to embodiments of the potassium content analysis using the vertical FD and horizontal FD, a surfactant may be added to the soil slurry. It has been surprisingly discovered that the addition of an anionic surfactant provides an unexpected improvement in optical clarity that enhances the spectrophotometer potassium content analysis while other non-anionic surfactants fail to provide such improved optical properties. Non-limiting examples of anionic surfactant include sodium laurate phosphate, sodium laurate sulfate, and sodium dodecyl sulfate. The surfactant of this embodiment may be substantially free of non-ionic compounds. The surfactant of this embodiment may be substantially free of cationic compounds. [0057] It has also been surprisingly discovered that for the embodiments of the potassium content analysis that utilize a vertical FD, the soil slurry may also be substantially free of surfactant and still achieve the desire optical clarity while the same optical clarity is not achieved in the absence of such surfactants in the horizontal FD. [0058] According to the embodiments directed to the potassium analysis, non-limiting examples of reagents include lithium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide, tetraphenylborate in sodium hydroxide, and sodium tetraborate decahydate in glycerol.

The extractant may comprise nitric acid in a concentration ranging from about 0.01M to about 0.2M – including all concentrations and sub-ranges there-between. [0061] According to this embodiment, the soil sample may be prepared by mixing the filtrate with the first reagent, subsequently mixing with the second reagent, subsequently mixing 0.8 mL of the third reagent, and subsequently performing the absorbance reading. [0062] According to this embodiment, the soil slurry and soil mixture may not be subjected to a centrifuge force before performing the potassium absorbance reading. [0063] Magnesium Analysis [0064] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, magnesium analysis may be performed according to the following methodologies. A soil sample may be obtained and blended with liquid to create the soil slurry. The soil slurry may then flow through the filter element to create a filtrate, whereby one or more reagent may be added to the filtrate to create a mixture. [0065] The soil mixture may then be analyzed for magnesium content by absorbance that may be read via a spectrophotometer at a wavelength ranging from 600 nm to 690 nm. In some embodiments, the soil mixture may then be analyzed for magnesium content by absorbance that may be read via a spectrophotometer at a wave length ranging from 600 nm to 635 nm – including all wavelengths and sub-ranges there-between – preferably about 615 nm. In some embodiments, the soil mixture may then be analyzed for magnesium content by absorbance that may be read via a spectrophotometer at a wave length ranging from 650 nm to 690 nm – including all wavelengths and sub-ranges there-between – preferably about 669 nm.

In some embodiments, the magnesium content analysis may occur inside of the analysis tool 110a and as the soil mixture flows along the vertical FD, whereby the vertical FD is substantially parallel to gravitational direction GD such that the soil mixture flows upward against the effects of gravity. [0067] In alternative embodiments, the magnesium content analysis may occur inside of the analysis tool 210 and as the soil mixture flows along the horizontal FD, whereby the horizontal FD is substantially orthogonal to the gravitational direction GD and the soil slurry flows horizontally through the analysis tool 210. [0068] According to embodiments of the magnesium content analysis using the vertical FD and horizontal FD, the soil slurry may comprise a surfactant. It has been surprisingly discovered that the addition of a non-ionic surfactant provides an unexpected improvement in optical clarity that enhances the spectrophotometer magnesium content analysis while ionic surfactants fail to provide such improved optical properties.

The surfactant of this embodiment may be substantially free of ionic surfactant. The surfactant of this embodiment may be substantially free of anionic surfactant. The surfactant of this embodiment may be substantially free of cationic surfactant. [0069] It has also bee surprisingly discovered that for the embodiments of the magnesium content analysis that utilize a vertical FD, the soil slurry may also be substantially free of surfactant and still achieve the desire optical clarity while the same optical clarity is not achieved in the absence of such surfactants in t he horizontal FD.

The extractant may comprise ammonium acetate in a concentration ranging from about 0.5M to about 1.5M – including all concentrations and sub-ranges there-between. [0073] According to this embodiment, the soil sample may be prepared by mixing the filtrate with the first reagent and subsequently mixing the second reagent, and subsequently performing the absorbance reading. [0074] According to this embodiment, the soil slurry and soil mixture may not be subjected to a centrifuge force before performing the magnesium absorbance reading. [0075] Calcium Analysis [0076] According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, calcium may be tested according to the following methodology. A soil sample may be obtained and blended with liquid to create the soil slurry. The soil slurry may then flow through the filter element to create a filtrate, whereby one or more reagent may be added to the filtrate to create a mixture. [0077] The soil mixture may then be analyzed for calcium content by absorbance that may be read via a spectrophotometer at a wavelength ranging from 600 nm to 690 nm. In some embodiments, the soil mixture may then be analyzed for calcium content by absorbance that may be read via a spectrophotometer at a wave length ranging from 600 nm to 635 nm – including all wavelengths and sub-ranges there-between – preferably about 615 nm.

In one embodiment, any of the cartridges can contain an additional chamber that does not contain any of the compositions for the above tests. EXAMPLES [0138] A number of experiments were performed to test the impact of flow configuration and surfactant during soil analysis. For the purposes of these experiments, the flow directions (“FD”) were tested at a substantially horizontal orientation (herein referred to as “H”), whereby the angle of the horizontal FD was substantially orthogonal to the gravitational direction (“GD”), and the FD was tested at a substantially vertical orientation (herein referred to as “V”), whereby the angle of the vertical FD was substantially parallel to the GD. [0139] Experiment 1 – Potassium Analysis [0140] A first experiment was performed to test the impact of horizontal FD and vertical FD as it relates to surfactant for a potassium soil analysis. [0141] The samples of Examples 1-4 were prepared by blending soil and water together at a 1:3 ratio to create a slurry, whereby the slurry is pulled into the extraction portion of the system and potassium is extracted in a 1:3 ratio of slurry to extractant with 0.03 M nitric acid. After extraction, the extracted samples were filtered and the filtrate was subsequently blended with reagent to create a soil mixture, the reagent including lithium hydroxide solution and then subsequently mixed with tetraphenylborate in NaOH, and subsequently, each sample is mixed with sodium tetraborate decahydrate in glycerol and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) in an aqueous solution. Each soil mixture of Examples 1-4 were then flowed along the horizontal FD through the analysis tool. [0142] The sample of Example 1 included a non-ionic surfactant. The sample of Example 2 included an anionic surfactant. The sample of Example 3 included a cationic surfactant. The sample of Example 4 was free of surfactant. [0143] The samples of Examples 5-8 were prepared by blending soil and water together at a 1:3 ratio to create a slurry, whereby the slurry is pulled into the extraction portion of the system and potassium is extracted in a 1:3 ratio of slurry to extractant with 0.03 M nitric acid. After extraction, the extracted samples were filtered and the filtrate was subsequently blended with reagent to create a soil mixture, the reagent including lithium hydroxide solution and then subsequently mixed with tetraphenylborate in NaOH, and subsequently, each sample is mixed with sodium tetraborate decahydrate in glycerol and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) in an aqueous solution. Each soil mixture of Examples 1-4 were then flowed along the vertical FD through the analysis tool. [0144] The sample of Example 5 included a non-ionic surfactant. The sample of Example 6 included an anionic surfactant. The sample of Example 7 included a cationic surfactant. The sample of Example 8 was free of surfactant. [0145] Each sample of Examples 1-8 were analyzed by the analysis tool at a wavelength between 380 - 550 nm to determine the potassium concentration in the sample. After mixing, each sample produces turbidity and the ability to read through each sample was recorded as either a pass or fail value – whereby the pass value equates to an optical property sufficiently clear to allow for the reading of the potassium concentration at a wavelength between 380 - 550 nm and the fail value equates to an optical property insufficiently clear to not allow for reading of the potassium concentration at a wavelength between 380 - 550 nm. The results are set forth below in Table 1. Table 1 [0146] As demonstrated by Table 1, it was discovered that the addition of anionic surfactant provided for the optical clarity needed to perform the potassium analysis at wavelengths of 380 nm to 550 nm when operating in the horizontal FD and vertical FD while non-anionic surfactants failed such test. Table 1 also demonstrates that no surfactant in the filtration systems having a vertical FD exhibited sufficient optical clarity for the potassium analysis as compared to the horizontal FD filtration systems which surprisingly failed the same test. [0147] Experiment 2 – Magnesium Analysis [0148] A second experiment was performed to test the impact of horizontal FD and vertical FD as it relates to surfactant for a magnesium soil analysis.

After extraction, the extracted samples were filtered and the filtrate was subsequently blended with reagent to create a soil mixture, the reagent including Tetrabutylammonium hydroxide and boric acid and subsequently mixed with Chlorophosphonazo III. Each soil mixture of Examples 13-16 were then flowed along the vertical FD through the analysis tool. [0152] The sample of Example 13 included a non-ionic surfactant. The sample of Example 14 included an anionic surfactant. The sample of Example 15 included a cationic surfactant. The sample of Example 16 was free of surfactant. [0153] Each sample of Examples 9-16 were analyzed by the analysis tool at a wavelength between 600 – 690 nm to determine the magnesium concentration in the sample. After mixing, each sample produces turbidity, and the ability to read through each sample was recorded as either a pass or fail – whereby the pass value equates to an optical property sufficiently clear to allow for the reading of the magnesium concentration at a wavelength between 600 - 690 nm and the fail value equates to an optical property insufficiently clear to not allow for reading of the magnesium concentration at a wavelength between 600 - 690 nm. The results are set forth below in Table 2. Table 2 [0154] As demonstrated by Table 2, it was discovered that the addition of non-ionic surfactant provided for the optical clarity needed to perform the magnesium analysis at wavelengths of 600 nm to 690 nm when operating in the horizontal FD and vertical FD while ionic surfactants failed such test. Table 2 also demonstrates that no surfactant in the filtration systems having a vertical FD exhibited sufficient optical clarity for the magnesium analysis as compared to the horizontal FD filtration systems which surprisingly failed the same test.

[0161] Each sample of Examples 17-24 were analyzed by the analysis tool at a wavelength of 615 nm to determine the calcium concentration in the sample. After mixing, each sample produces turbidity, and the ability to read through each sample was recorded as either a pass or fail – whereby the pass value equates to an optical property sufficiently clear to allow for the reading of the calcium concentration at a wavelength of 615 nm and the fail value equates to an optical property insufficiently clear to not allow for reading of the calcium concentration at a wavelength of 615 nm. The results are set forth below in Table 3.

[0168] Each sample of Examples 25-32 were analyzed by the analysis tool at a wavelength between 380 - 550 nm to determine the phosphorus concentration in the sample. After mixing, each sample produces turbidity, and the ability to read through each sample was recorded as either a pass or fail – whereby the pass value equates to an optical property sufficiently clear to allow for the reading of the phosphorus concentration at a wavelength between 380 - 550 nm and the fail value equates to an optical property insufficiently clear to not allow for reading of the phosphorus concentration at a wavelength between 380 - 550 nm. The results are set forth below in Table 4. Table 4 [0169] As demonstrated by Table 4, it was discovered that the addition of non-ionic surfactant provided for the optical clarity needed to perform the phosphorus analysis at wavelengths of 380 nm to 550 nm when operating in the horizontal FD and vertical FD while ionic surfactants failed such test. Table 4 also demonstrates that no surfactant in the filtration systems having a vertical FD exhibited sufficient optical clarity for the phosphorus analysis as compared to the horizontal FD filtration systems which surprisingly failed the same test.

The sample of Example 39 included a cationic surfactant. The sample of Example 40 was free of surfactant. [0174] Each sample of Examples 33-40 were analyzed by the analysis tool at a wavelength of 615 nm to determine the pH in the sample. After mixing, each sample produces turbidity and the ability to read through each sample was recorded as either a pass or fail value – whereby the pass value equates to an optical property sufficiently clear to allow for the reading of the pH a wavelength of 615 nm the fail value equates to an optical property insufficiently clear to not allow for reading of the pH at a wavelength of 615 nm. The results are set forth below in Table 5. Table 5 [0175] As demonstrated by Table 5, it was discovered that the addition of non-ionic surfactant provided for the optical clarity needed to perform the pH test analysis at a wavelength of 615 nm when operating in the horizontal FD and vertical FD while ionic surfactants failed such test. Table 5 also demonstrates that no surfactant in the filtration systems having a vertical FD exhibited sufficient optical clarity for the pH test analysis as compared to the horizontal FD filtration systems which surprisingly failed the same test. [0176] Experiment 6 – Buffer pH Analysis [0177] A sixth experiment was performed to test the impact of horizontal FD and vertical FD as it relates to surfactant for a buffer pH soil analysis. [0178] The samples of Examples 41-48 were prepared by blending soil and water together at a 1:3 ratio to create a slurry, whereby the slurry is pulled into the extraction portion of the system and extractant is added at a 1:3 ratio of slurry to extractant, with the extractant being sikora buffer. After extraction, the extracted samples were filtered and the filtrate was subsequently blended with indicator to create a soil mixture, the indicator including a 1:1 ratio of chlorophenol red sodium salt and phenol red sodium salt. Each soil mixture of Examples 41-44 were then flowed along the horizontal FD through the analysis tool, and each soil mixture of Examples 45- 48 were then flowed along the vertical FD through the analysis tool. [0179] The sample of Example 41 included a non-ionic surfactant. The sample of Example 42 included an anionic surfactant. The sample of Example 43 included a cationic surfactant.

[0180] Each sample of Examples 41-44 were analyzed by the analysis tool at a wavelength of 575 nm to determine the buffer pH in the sample. After mixing, each sample produces turbidity and the ability to read through each sample was recorded as either a pass or fail value – whereby the pass value equates to an optical property sufficiently clear to allow for the reading of the buffer pH a wavelength of 575 nm the fail value equates to an optical property insufficiently clear to not allow for reading of the buffer pH at a wavelength of 575 nm. The results are set forth below in Table 6. Table 6 [0181] As demonstrated by Table 6, it was discovered that the addition of non-ionic surfactant provided for the optical clarity needed to perform the pH buffer analysis at a wavelength of 575 nm when operating in the horizontal FD and vertical FD while ionic surfactants failed such test. Table 6 also demonstrates that no surfactant in the filtration systems having a vertical FD exhibited sufficient optical clarity for the pH buffer analysis as compared to the horizontal FD filtration systems which surprisingly failed the same test.
