Salifert Nitrite Test Kit

Salifert test Kits are available for all aspects of the aquarium's chemistry, covering organic and inorganic pollutants as well as valuable marine trace elements to allow for accurate dosing when additives are required. The kits feature bold colour changes and good colour comparison charts so that you can be sure of the water's chemistry.

Many nitrite test kits suffer from interference caused by amines e.g naturally occurring and essential amino acids. This can result in a too low measured value, especially when the nitrite concentration is relatively low. Because of its unique formulation, the Salifert Test Kit does not suffer from amine interference and offers full colour development within one minute. Also, the colour is very intense making the detection of even minute traces of nitrite easy.

The test kit has two different scales: an ultra-low scale for nitrite-nitrogen which ranges from 0.002 - 0.12 mg/L, and a medium scale for nitrite-nitrogen which ranges from 0.02 - 1.2 mg/L.

Higher Sensitivity

After your aquarium or garden pond has cycled you will need a much higher sensitivity. This is easily accomplished by looking through the side when comparing colours. Hole the test tube with its side against a white piece of colour chart. The readings must be divided by 10. In this way you will be able to detect 0.01 ppm as nitrite or 0.003 ppm as nitrite-nitrogen easily.

Instructions:

1. Add with the syringe 1ml of water in the test vial.

2. Add to 1 level spoon of the NO2 powder. Swirl the contents of the test tube gently for 20 seconds. Allow to stand for 3 minutes.

3. Place the open test vial on top of the colour chart on a part of the chart which is white and compare the colours looking from the top. Read the corresponding nitrite content. An intermediate colour corresponds to an intermediate nitrite content.

The nitrite values are in ppm nitrite. If you prefer a reading in ppm Nitrite-Nitrogen, then multiply the reading by 0.3 or use the table given below.
