  • Desiccant lined vials protest the strips from the elements, ensuring their consistency
  • No extra chemicals or reagents needed to get accurate results

The Nitrite Nitrate test strip is used to test for Nitrites & Nitrates in solution simultaneously. The Nitrate pad detects Nitrate in solution at 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, & 500ppm. The Nitrite pad detects Nitrite in solution at 0, .5, 1, 5, 10, & 25ppm. Nitrite test strips are often used when testing for Nitrites in wine, seafood, and sandwich meats, such as ham and bologna. Nitrate test strips are often used to test fertilizer run-off in agricultural areas. This strip is very sensitive to light and moisture, so be sure to keep the vial tightly sealed. Make sure to reseal the bottle immediately after opening to prevent the moisture from ruining them.

The unit of measures are Nitrite and Nitrate. To express Nitrite as Nitrite-Nitrogen divide result by 3.3, for Nitrate as Nitrate-Nitrogen divide by 4.4 .

Instructions:

  1. Remove one Nitrite Nitrate test strip from the vial.
  2. Dip the test strip into the solution so that both pads are immersed and hold for 2-3 seconds in the solution.
  3. Remove the test strip, and shake off any excess liquid.
  4. Compare test pad to the color chart after 30 seconds

The pad on the end of the strip is for nitrate, the pad closest to your fingers when you dip it is for nitrite.

FAQ

When I dip the strip it immediately changes to the darkest shade possible. What causes this ?

Generally speaking when a strip immediately changes to the darkest shade on the color chart it means whatever sample you are testing is above the upper end of the test strips range.

In normal water applications, the Griess reaction produces a pink/red color. When the concentration of nitrate or nitrite is high the color becomes more red. When you get an immediate red color, the levels of either nitrate or nitrite are very high. Another factor could be the pH of the test solution. If it is very low, the reaction may tend to be more red (and dark).

Generally in instances where this happens we would recommend diluting the test solution (sometimes substantially) and then retesting.
