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.  Internal Reference Standard Included. 

C-NTK is designed to test nitrate from ~1 ppm to 10 ppm nitrate-N.  The US EPA maximum allowable nitrate level in potable drinking water for human consumption is 10 ppm nitrate-N.  Using C-NTK, you will easily be able to tell if you are over the limit or not for safe drinking water.

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 enzyme nitrate reductase, derived from yeast cells, uses its natural electron donor (NADH) to reduce 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 easy-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.
