Reflectoquant® Nitrate Test, Catalog No. 16995/1
1. Method
Nitrate is reduced to nitrite by a reduction
agent. In the presence of an acidic buffer, this nitrate reacts with
an aromatic amine to form a diazonium salt, which in turn reacts with
N-(1-naphthyl)-ethylenediamine to form a red-violet azo dye, the
concentration of which is determined reflectometrically.

3. Applications
Sample Material:
Groundwater, wellwater and drinking water
Spring water and mineral water
Industrial water,wastewater, percolating water
Water in aquariums
Pressed plant and fruit juices
Food, animal fodder
Soils and fertilizers
This test is only conditionally suited for the
determination of the nitrate content of seawater samples (false-low
readings).
4. Influence of Foreign Substances
This was checked - in the case of interfering
ions up to concentrations of 1,000mg/l - in solutions containing 50mg/l
and 0mg/l NO3–. The concentrations
of foreign substances given in the table lie below the limit at which
the determination is interfered with:

5.Reagents and Auxiliaries
Store originally sealed pack in
refrigerator. Opened pack: store closed tube outside refrigerator in
a cool and dry place. The analytic test strips are stable at least
up to the date stated on the pack when stored in these conditions.

Tube containing 50 analytical test strips
Bar code strip
Other Reagents:
EM Quant® Nitrite Test, Cat. No.
10007, measuring range 2-80 mg/l NO2–
Universal indicator strips pH 0-14. Cat. No 9590
Amidosulfonic acid GR Cat. No.SX1140
EM Quant® Nitrate Test, Cat. No.
10020 or 10050, measuring range 10-500 mg/l NO3–
Sodium acetate GR, Cat. No.SX0255
Tartaric acid GR, Cat. No. TX0010
Nitrate standard solution ready for use, 1,000
mg/l NO3–, Cat. No. 19811
6. Preparation
- Extract solid sample materials by an
appropriate method.
- If nitrite is suspected, check the nitrite
content using the EM Quant® Nitrite Test.
If necessary eliminate interfering nitrite ions:
To 5ml of sample (pH <10) add 5 drops of a
10% aqueous amidosulfonic acid solution and shake several times.
- Check whether the nitrate content is within
the measuring range. Use the EM Quant® Nitrate Test
as a guide. Samples containing more than 90 mg/l NO3–
must be diluted with distilled water.
- The pH must be within the range 1-12.
Check with universal indicator strips. If pH is lower than 1,
buffer with sodium acetate; if greater than 12, adjust to approx.
3-5 with tartaric acid.
7. Procedure
- Observe the instructions for the RQflex
Reflectometer.
The following applies to the Nitrate Test:
Measurement procedure A. Stored reaction
time: 60 sec.
- Remove 1 analytical test strip and immediately
reclose the tube.
- Press START button of the reflectometer and
at the same time immerse both reaction zones of the test
strip in the sample solution (15-30°C) for approx. 2 sec.
- Shake off excess liquid from the test strip
- As soon as the beeper sounds (5 sec. before
end of reaction time), insert the test strip all the way into the
strip adapter with the reaction zones facing the display.
- Read off the result from the display. The
result is automatically stored.
Note:
- If the test strip is inserted into the
adapter after the reaction time has expired, renewed depression of
the START button will result in a false-high reading of the nitrate
concentration.
- At the end of each workday, cleanse the
strip adapter thoroughly with water or ethanol.
