U.S.G.S. Report Validates
NECi’s Non-toxic
Enzyme-based Lab Method,
Replaces Cadmium

A U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Water Quality Laboratory report recently published validates the AtNaR enzyme-based methods for lab testing of nitrate + nitrite in filtered water by automated discrete analysis. The AtNar enzyme-based method was developed in the 1990s by NECi.

Special pricing available for all USGS labs: contact NECi by emailing sales@nitrate.com or call 1-888-NITRATE (1.888.648.7283)...10% off all DA reagents through the end of March 2012!

·        ·        This new method replaces the “toxic, granular, copperized cadmium” used in previous automated methods.

·        The colorimetric reagents remain the same. The new methods (USGS I-2547-11 and I-2548-11) – standard- and low-level – replace the USGS automated continuous-flow analyzer methods (I-2545-90 and I-2545-91) using the nontoxic, soluble nitrate reductase.

·        See the whole report titled “Colorimetric determination of nitrate plus nitrite in water by enzymatic reduction, automated discrete analyzer methods” by  Charles J. Patton and Jennifer R. Kryskalla at http://pubs.usgs.gov/tm/05b08/.
