Application

Tips: How does this nitrite sensor compare to colorimetric methods for nitrite detection?
Traditional colorimetric methods involve sampling, adding reagents, and using a colorimeter to analyze nitrite levels. While effective in controlled lab settings, they are time-consuming, reagent-dependent, and unsuitable for real-time monitoring. In contrast, this ion-selective Nitrite Sensor provides continuous, real-time, reagent-free monitoring, which greatly improves operational efficiency. Additionally, it allows integration with remote monitoring systems, making it ideal for unattended field stations, industrial automation, or aquaculture systems that require 24/7 supervision.
