MultiTest Nitrite and Nitrate is a test kit that allows for accurate measurement of nitrite and nitrate concentrations in freshwater and marine aquariums. It offers fine detection of nitrogen parameters essential for monitoring water quality.
Measures nitrites and nitrates.
Compatible with marine and freshwater aquariums.
More than 75 tests per kit.
Detects nitrites as low as 0.1 mg/L.
Detects nitrates as low as 0.2 mg/L.
Multi-cavity plate allowing up to 6 simultaneous tests.
Reference sample included for validation.
Nitrites are highly toxic and should be undetectable in a balanced aquarium. When starting an aquarium, their concentration can temporarily exceed 20 mg/L.
Nitrates are less toxic, but it is generally recommended to keep their concentration below 20 mg/L to preserve the health of fish and invertebrates.
Values are expressed directly in nitrites and nitrates. Conversion to nitrogen can be performed if necessary by dividing the results by 3.3 for nitrites and by 4.4 for nitrates.
Nitrite measurement range: 0 to 25 mg/L.
Nitrate measurement range: 0 to 50 mg/L.
Detectable increments: from 0.1 to 1 mg/L according to the color chart.
The use of the reference solution is optional for conducting the tests. However, it allows verification of the kit's proper functioning by replacing the aquarium water sample with the provided reference solution.
