| How the C-NTK
Works: The Nitrate C-NTK for
Home/Farm Water Testing contains no environmentally harmful components and
is completely safe to use. NECi's nitrate reductase (NaR)
is used in these kits. The principle is that the enzyme nitrate reductase
using its natural electron donor, NADH derived from yeast cells, reduces
nitrate in the water to nitrite.
Environmentally safe dyes are used to detect the nitrite. After the color of
the dye-nitrite complex fully develops, the color of the Nitrate Test is
compared to a Nitrate Standard run at the same time as your water sample.
An easily to use color chart for estimating the nitrate content of the water
being tested is also provided in the C-NTK.
Finally, the contents of the C-NTK are safe
to discard in the sink or any drain after you have used it to estimate your
water's nitrate content. The paper and plastic components of the C-NTK
can be recycled. Thus, the NECi C-NTK is a sustainable solution to
Home and Farm Nitrate Testing.
