consumer nitrate test kit

The NECi Consumer Nitrate Test Kit (C-NTK) provides the homeowner or farmer with a simple and safe kit for testing nitrate content of any water source (wells, animal ponds, etc.). The NECi C-NTK is easy to use and only takes a few minutes to get results.

The NECi C-NTK is based on using an enzyme, Nitrate Reductase (NaR) from corn plants, to convert nitrate to nitrite with the natural coenzyme, NADH, to drive the reaction and non-toxic dyes to develop color with nitrite -- NECi C-NTK contains no heavy metals like other kits for nitrate testing and is safe for you to use and environmentally benign.

The NECi C-NTK detects nitrate in the range most related to the U.S. EPA standard for the maximum allowed level of nitrate (1 to 10 ppm nitrate-N or 1 to 10 mg of nitrate-nitrogen per liter of water or 4.5 to 45 ppm nitrate).

NECi developed the Consumer Nitrate Test Kit for Home and Farm via an US Dept. Agriculture Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant. The C-NTK is a direct development from the previous NECi NTK for Field and Lab Nitrate Testing (Go To: NTK)
