J-QUANT Nitrate/Nitrite Test Strips – Dual Detection of Nitrate up to 500 mg/L & Nitrite up to 80 mg/L
Reliable Semi-Quantitative Testing for Nitrate and Nitrite Levels in Water Samples
The J-QUANT Nitrate/Nitrite Test Strips offer a fast, easy, and accurate way to semi-quantitatively measure both nitrate and nitrite concentrations in aqueous solutions. With detection capabilities of up to 500 mg/L for nitrate and 80 mg/L for nitrite, these test strips are ideal for environmental monitoring, agriculture, aquatic safety, wastewater treatment, and drinking water compliance testing.
Why Test for Nitrate and Nitrite?
-
Nitrate (NO₃⁻) is a common water contaminant that results from the natural decomposition of organic matter and agricultural fertilizer runoff. It is regulated in drinking water with a maximum limit of 50 mg/L in the UK and EU.
-
While less toxic than ammonia, elevated nitrate levels can still pose ecological risks, especially as it easily converts into nitrite.
-
Nitrite (NO₂⁻) is significantly more toxic, even at low concentrations (as little as 0.5 mg/L), and is a red flag for microbial contamination and inefficient nitrification in wastewater systems.
