The Salifert Nitrite Test Kit is a highly sensitive, laboratory-grade chemical titration kit designed to detect and measure nitrite (NO₂⁻) ions in both marine reef aquariums and freshwater systems. Nitrite is a highly toxic intermediary byproduct formed when beneficial nitrifying bacteria break down ammonia. This kit is primarily utilized to track the second stage of a new aquarium cycle or to diagnose unexpected bio-filter disruptions. It uses a high-contrast colorimetry matrix to allow aquarists to identify tiny trace amounts of nitrite before they can harm sensitive livestock.
Core Technical Performance
Measurement Target: Measures Nitrite (NO₂⁻) concentrations.
Dual-Scale Testing Ranges:
Standard Scale: Detects values from an ultra-low 0.05 ppm up to an elevated emergency threshold of 1.0 ppm.
High-Sensitivity Scale: By looking horizontally through the side of the vial rather than down from above, you can divide the color chart values by 10, allowing you to read trace values from 0.005 ppm to 0.1 ppm.
Kit Testing Capacity: Provides sufficient raw chemical reagents to complete approximately 60 total tests before replacement is required.
Dual Environment Compatibility: Calibrated to deliver rapid, accurate results in both high-salinity marine environments and standard freshwater configurations without experiencing chemical interference from salt ions.
