HI3873 | Hanna Nitrite Test Kit 0.0-1.0mg/L

Monitor water quality effectively with the Hanna HI3873 Nitrite Chemical Test Kit, a simple and reliable solution for measuring nitrite levels in aquaculture, wastewater, and cooling towers in Pakistan. Nitrite ($NO_2^-$) is an intermediate breakdown product of ammonia that is highly toxic to fish and aquatic life even at low concentrations, making accurate testing critical for fish farms and biological filters. This all-inclusive kit uses the Chromotropic Acid method to determine nitrite concentration as nitrite-nitrogen ($NO_2^--N$) within a range of 0.0 to 1.0 mg/L (ppm).

The HI3873 is designed for field use, requiring no batteries or calibration. It comes supplied with enough reagents for 100 tests, a glass cuvette, and a color comparison cube for easy visual analysis. The reaction produces a pink tint in the sample proportional to the nitrite concentration, allowing for a quick and clear assessment of water safety.

Frequently Asked Questions:

• Q: Why is nitrite testing important in aquaculture?

  • A: Nitrite is extremely toxic to fish because it prevents their blood from carrying oxygen (methemoglobinemia or "brown blood disease"). Regular testing ensures your biological filter is working and your fish are safe.

• Q: What is the difference between measuring Nitrite ($NO_2$) and Nitrite-Nitrogen ($NO_2-N$)?

  • A: This kit measures Nitrite-Nitrogen ($NO_2-N$). To convert the reading to total Nitrite ($NO_2^-$), you simply multiply the result by 3.29.

• Q: Can I buy more reagents when I run out?

  • A: Yes, the kit is refillable. You can order the HI3873-100 replacement reagent kit to continue testing without purchasing a new plastic set.
