Johnson's J-QUANT® Nitrite test strips can quickly and reliably measure the level of nitrite in liquids. These strips provide consistent results with their easy to use method within 45 seconds of sampling.
Features
- Graduation: 0-2-5-10-20-40-80 mg/L Nitrate
- Colour changing
- 100 strips/pk
- Nitrite can provide an indication of contamination in the environment.
- Aquarium, industry, wastewater and drinking water analysis is, therefore, an appropriate list of examples where nitrite measurement is possible.
- Nitrite build up in aquacultures and fish farming through the breakdown of organic matter can impair the filtration units ultimately causing harm to the fish.
- It is very important therefore to test for nitrites in this environment.
Nitrite measure bacterial growth in cooling lubricants formed during the manufacturing process which can lead to the development of carcinogens such as nitrosamine. If carried out regularly, nitrite testing can protect staff from overexposure and lower costs as any action taken as a result of measurement can increase the lifetime of the cooling lubricant.
The maximum acceptable level of nitrite in drinking water as stated by the EPA is 1 mg/l. High levels of nitrite can cause infant mortality as well as proving fatal to aquatic life. Nitrite test strips are therefore the ideal solution for testing these circumstances due to their simple and rapid usage.
Foods such as deep-frozen spinach, brine, pickling solutions and meat products require the measurement of nitrate concentration. High levels can potentially cause harm to consumers of these products, especially children.
Johnson's J-QUANT® Semi-Quantitative Test Strips are globally known for their accuracy and quality. They provide semi-quantitative results for ions, organic compounds, inorganic compounds and match the ever-demanding needs of a rapid test. Laboratory costs and time can be lowered by a substantial amount given the information they provide as a first-phase test.
