Product Description This QUANTOFIX test strip is for the rapid and reliable determination of Nitrate and Nitrite in solutions. The easy dip-and-read-procedure provides a reliable result within 1 minute. Nitrite is an undesired by-product in cooling lubricants. It allows the formation of carcinogenic compounds. Cooling lubricants are therefore regularly tested for Nitrite. In natural and drinking water Nitrite can lead to infant mortality and dead aquatic life. The EPA primary drinking water standard is 1 mg/l. Additionally, nitrite is an important parameter for aquacultures and fish farming. Nitrite is formed in the decomposition of organic material. High levels can lead to the disruption of filtration units. Moreover, long-term exposure can be harmful to fish. In natural and drinking water Nitrite can lead to infant mortality and dead aquatic life. Directions Dip the test strip into the solution for 1 second. Remove and wait for 60 seconds. Compare the color change to the color chart provided to determine the nitrite level. Use for water quality control, cooling lubricant testing, and aquaculture.
