Nitrite testing in Ethiopia
Nitrite is the short lived stage between ammonia and nitrate in the nitrogen cycle. Because it does not last, finding it means contamination is recent or a treatment process is not finishing. Palintest measures nitrite photometrically, usually on the same instrument and workflow as nitrate.
Why it matters in Ethiopia
Nitrite read next to nitrate tells you how fresh the contamination is. Testing the pair on one sample is worth the extra reagent when the question is whether a well has just been polluted or has been polluted for years.
10 products in the Wagtech Trading catalog measure Nitrite.
