Division 6.3 When the Kjeldahl flasks are cool, add 300 ml of water (see note) to each so as to wash carefully down the neck of the flask, and mix the contents thoroughly ensuring that the crystals which have separated out are dissolved. Add some boiling aid (5.2.) to ensure uniform boiling. Then to each flask, add 70 ml of sodium hydroxide solution (4.4.) (see note) by gently pouring the solution down the inclined neck of the flask to form a bottom layer in the bulb; do not wet the top of the neck with the sodium hydroxide solution.
