HI-93707-03 Reagents: 300 nitrite low range tests for HI-96707

Reagents: 300 nitrite low range tests for HI-93707.

The HI-93707-03 are high quality reagents that are pre-measured, allowing for users to achieve fast and accurate colorimetric measurements. The method is an adaptation of the Diazotization method, adapted from EPA method 354.1. The reaction between nitrite and the reagent causes a pink tint in the sample. By simply adding the reagent to the sample, a reaction will take place and a compatible benchtop or portable meter can be used to determine the concentration from the colour that is produced. The results will be displayed in mg/L (ppm) of nitrite. These reagents are designed to be used with samples that are within the expected range of the meter being used. Ranges available include 0.000 to 0.600 mg/L nitrite with the portable photometer (HI-96707 & HI-97707) and 0.00 to 1.15 mg/L nitrite with our compatible benchtop photometers.

Tip for an accurate measurement

It is important that the sample does not contain any debris.

When the cuvette is placed into the measurement cell, it must be dry outside and completely free of fingerprints, oil or dirt. Wipe it thoroughly with HI-731318 or a lint-free cloth prior to insertion.

Shaking the cuvette can generate bubbles, causing higher readings. To obtain accurate measurements, remove such bubbles by swirling or by gently tapping the cuvette.

Do not let the reacted sample stand for too long after reagent is added, or accuracy will be lost.

After the reading, it is important to discard the sample immediately, otherwise the glass might become permanently stained.
