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).
