The known interfering substances are indicated in the table shown below. In the case of complex samples, such as foods, it is particularly difficult to estimate the potential influence of the foreign substances on the analysis (matrix effect). Please refer to the links below for more details on identifying matrix effects.

General description
Method: reflectometric with test strips 5 - 225 mg/l NO₃⁻ Reflectoquant®
The Reflectoquant Nitrate test strips can be used for the rapid determination of the nitrate content in water and also with fruit and vegetables to help decide whether a given delivery batch can be released for use in a specific product (e.g. baby foods). On the strip nitrate ions are reduced to nitrite ions by a reducing agent. In the presence of an acidic buffer, these nitrite ions react with an aromatic amine to form a diazonium salt, which in turn reacts with N-(1naphthyl)-ethylene-diamine to form a red-violet azo dye that is determined reflectometrically on the RQflex® 20. For pre-testing a sample in an economic and quick way to check for nitrite interferences or to estimate the nitrate concentration and a possible dilution factor prior to using this quantitative method we recommend our semi-quantitative MQuant test strips for nitrate and nitrite. Further quantitative determination methods can be found with our Spectroquant tests.
Application
Nitrate Test Strips are used:
- To monitor nitrate levels in water treatment processes. This is crucial for preventing excessive nitrate concentrations, which can lead to environmental pollution.[1]
- In the agricultural industry to analyze soil nitrate levels, aiding in the optimization of fertilizer use and improving crop yields.[2]

Hello. We use your Nitrate test strips to measure Nitrate levels in whey 0- 500ppm. Can you tell me if there are any interfering substances that you know of that might give a false high reading.
