Instruction Leaflet (this manual serves as a detailed guide)

3.1 Setup Inizjali

Unpack all components from the kit box.
Familiarize yourself with the reagents and the color chart.
Ensure the test tube(s) are clean and dry before first use.

4. Operating Instructions: Performing the Nitrite Test

Follow these steps carefully to ensure accurate nitrite measurements:

Ipprepara s-Sample: Fill the test tube with 5 ml of the pond water to be tested. Ensure the water sample is taken from a representative area of the pond, away from surface film or debris.
Add Reagent 1: Add 5 drops of Nitrite Reagent 1 to the test tube. Cap the test tube and gently invert it several times to mix the solution.
Add Reagent 2: Add 5 drops of Nitrite Reagent 2 to the test tube. Cap the test tube again and gently invert it several times to mix thoroughly.
Wait for Reaction: Allow the test tube to stand undisturbed for 5 minutes. During this time, the color of the solution will develop.
Qabbel ir-Riżultati: After 5 minutes, compare the color of the solution in the test tube with the color chart provided in the kit. Hold the test tube against the white background of the color chart in good lighting conditions (preferably natural daylight).
Interpret Reading: Match the color in the test tube to the closest color on the chart. The corresponding number indicates the nitrite concentration in mg/L (ppm).

Nota: For best accuracy, perform tests at consistent times of day and under similar lighting conditions. Rinse the test tube thoroughly with distilled or deionized water immediately after each use.
