APPLICATION NOTE

T2O-AN-P260

NITRATE (P260) METHOD

The following application note explains the procedure for the detection of Nitrate (P260) using the
HT1000 Photometer.

Equipment:



HT1000 Photometer



Nitrate test tube



Nitrate test powder



Nitrate Test tablet



10ml vial



Stirring rod



Nitrite LR tablet

Safety:



Consult the safety data sheet for all of the reagents before use. Even if you have used
HydroTest reagents before, the formulation may have changed.

Getting started:



Switch the unit on using the power key.



Select the Nitrate method by depressing the cursor keys until ‘Nitrate T ’ is displayed or use
the shortcut by pressing & holding shift followed by 260

Release shift and press enter.
