A method for determining the concentration of chlorine dioxide in a chlorine dioxide solution having the following steps:
(1) isolating two samples, Sample 1 and Sample 2, from the chlorine dioxide solution;
(2) stripping the chlorine dioxide from Sample 1;
(3) completely converting the chlorine dioxide in Sample 2 to other chlorine species;
(4) transporting the chlorine dioxide samples either within the facility or outside the facility to a testing site;
(5) separately determining the concentration of the chlorine containing species in each of Samples 1 and 2; and
(6) calculating the concentration of chlorine dioxide in said chlorine dioxide solution based upon the information obtained in step (5).
