The Hach Nitrate and Nitrite Test Strips (Product Code: 2745425) are designed for quick and efficient testing of nitrate and nitrite levels in water. These test strips are particularly useful for field or laboratory settings where rapid, semi-quantitative results are needed.
Directions:
- Dip the strip into water for 1 second (or run it under a gentle stream of water) and then remove it without shaking off the excess water.
- Hold the strip level with the pad side up for 30 seconds. Then, compare the Nitrite test pad to the color chart on the bottle.
- At 60 seconds, compare the Nitrate test pad to the color chart and estimate the results if the color falls between two blocks.
Features
