Hanna HI3873 Nitrite as as NO- 2-N Range 0.0-1.0 mg/L

Hanna HI3873 Nitrite as as NO- 2-N Range 0.0-1.0 mg/L

The Hanna HI3873 Nitrite as as NO- 2-N Range 0.0-1.0 mg/L is a user-friendly colorimetric test kit designed for the rapid and accurate determination of nitrite (as NO₂⁻-N) concentrations in water samples. Using a reliable chromotropic acid-based method, this kit allows users to visually compare sample color intensity using a color cube, offering straightforward monitoring of water quality.

Features

• Easy-to-Use Color Comparison Method
  Visual analysis with a simple color cube makes testing accessible to professionals and non-professionals alike.

• Accurate Nitrite Detection
  Utilizes a chemical reaction with chromotropic acid that produces a pink coloration, proportional to the nitrite concentration.

• Wide Range for Environmental and Industrial Use
  Measures nitrite levels in the 0.0 to 1.0 mg/L range, suitable for a variety of applications including environmental monitoring, wastewater management, and aquaculture.

• Compact and Portable
  Lightweight at only 169 g, making it ideal for field testing and on-the-go water analysis.

• High Test Capacity
  Capable of performing up to 100 individual tests, offering excellent value for routine monitoring.
