Frequently asked questions

Why is nitrate regulated in drinking water?
High nitrate is a health risk to infants, so drinking water standards cap it. Groundwater under fertilised farmland is where it most often exceeds the limit.

Why use powder pillows instead of tablets?
A pillow is a pre-measured dose in a sealed sachet, so there is nothing to weigh out and no part-used tablet strip. Where a method is only offered in powder form, the pillow is what the instrument expects.

How should powder pillows be stored?
Keep them cool and dry in their sealed sachets, work through the oldest box first, and open a pillow only at the moment you dose the sample.
