Nitrite Test

Description

• General description: Method: Colorimetric, with test strips, 0.1 - 0.3 - 0.6 - 1 - 2 - 3 g/L (NO2-), MQuant®The test can be used for measuring the nitrit concentration of boiler water and cooling water. On the MQuant® Nitrite test strips, nitrite ions react with an aromatic amine to form an orange-red azo dye. The nitrite concentration is measured semi-quantitatively by visual comparison of the reaction zone of the test strip with the fields of a color scale. The test strips are perfect for pre-testing a sample in an economic and quick way to estimate the nitrite concentration and a possible dilution factor prior to using a quantitative method such as a Reflectoquant® or Spectroquant® Nitrite test.
• Application: Clinical and laboratory features of urinary tract infections in young infants: Discusses diagnostic challenges and characteristics of urinary tract infections in infants, stressing the importance of accurate detection to guide treatment (Lo et al., 2018). Differentiating Kawasaki disease from urinary tract infection in febrile children with pyuria and C-reactive protein elevation: Focuses on differential diagnosis in pediatric care, which can influence the choice of nitrite tests for accurate and timely diagnosis (Han and Lee, 2018). Early features of Kawasaki disease with pyuria in febrile infants younger than 6 months: Addresses the overlap of urinary symptoms in Kawasaki disease, underscoring the utility of nitrite tests in complex cases (Yoon et al., 2018).
