Reagent A Nitrate 44 comes in a 10 g powder form designed for accurate testing. It is used for the determination of nitrate levels in water and reacts with diethyl-p-phenylene diamine (DPD) in a buffered solution allowing for precise measurement using a colorimeter or photometer. For optimal performance, store reagents consistently between 36°F and 85°F (2°C and 29°C), avoid extreme temperature fluctuations, and protect them from prolonged direct sunlight.
