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.

Does this reagent work on its own?
Several photometric methods use two or three reagents in sequence. Check which components your method lists, and we will make sure the set is complete before it ships.

How should liquid reagents be stored?
Cool, dry and out of direct sunlight, with the cap firmly closed. Note the batch and expiry on the bottle, and work through the oldest stock first.
