Quantitative Nitrate Analysis for High-Throughput Testing
NECi's Microplate Format Nitrate Test Kit delivers high-throughput nitrate quantification in any aqueous sample using a 96-well microplate. The enzyme-based assay uses recombinant Nitrate Reductase (NaR) to reduce nitrate to nitrite via NADH, which then reacts with color reagents to produce a measurable signal — read at 540 nm against nitrate standards. No cadmium reduction required.
Available Ranges
*Nitrate is reported in different units depending on your field of use and where you live.
| NTK Microplate Kits | ppm Nitrate-N | ppm Nitrate | µM Nitrate |
| Low Range Kit | 0.05 - 1.0 | 0.2 - 4.4 | 3.6 - 71.4 |
| Standard Range Kit | 0.5 - 10.0 | 2.0 - 44 | 36 - 714 |
