Hanna HI3874-100 Nitrate cadmium reduction method

Hanna HI3874-100 Nitrate cadmium reduction method

The Hanna HI3874-100 Nitrate cadmium reduction method is a replacement reagent pack designed for use with the HI3874 Nitrate Test Kit, which applies the cadmium reduction method for accurate colorimetric analysis of nitrate (NO₃⁻) in water samples. This kit provides enough reagents for approximately 100 tests, making it a reliable solution for environmental testing, agriculture, aquaculture, and wastewater monitoring.

The method is based on the reduction of nitrate to nitrite, which then reacts to form a colored complex measurable using a visual color comparator.

Features

• Pre-Measured, Ready-to-Use Reagents
  Simplifies testing with consistent reagent dosing and eliminates the need for manual chemical handling.

• High-Quality Chemical Formulation
  Made with laboratory-grade reagents to ensure accurate and repeatable results.

• Reliable Cadmium Reduction Method
  A standard colorimetric technique for nitrate detection, widely used for its reliability and sensitivity.

• Clear Visual Comparison
  Results are interpreted using a color comparison cube included with the HI3874 kit for fast, on-site decision-making.

• Traceable Packaging
  All reagent packets are clearly marked with lot number and expiry date for full traceability and quality control.
