A simple, rapid, low cost and accurate determination using flow injection spectrophotometry with a home made flow cell detector, in combination with green LED and photodiode, had been developed for nitrite based on the Griess-Saltzman reaction, measuring the absorbance at 525 nm. The proposed system is able to monitor nitrite in freshwater samples at a throughput of 60 samples per hour with a relative standard deviation (%RSD) of less than 2.4% and a detection limit of <7 µg dm -3 . The calibration graph was linear between 0.010 -1.0 mg dm -3 .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
