  1. Nitrate Test

  2. 1. Label the four beakers with their respective names (no CGLS).

  3. 2. Put 10 mL of sample in their respective beakers; use the vial for the Canadian Guideline Limit Sample test. 3. Dip one test strip in water for 2 seconds with no motion.

  4. 4. Remove the test strip and allow colours to develop for 1 minute, by laying across the top of the beaker or vial.

  5. 5. Match the colour reading (pink number) and record. Please note: The end pad of the test strip measure nitrate; whereas the other pad on the test strip measures nitrite. With this test, we are more concerned with the nitrate reading. Results: The Canadian Guideline and those for the U.S. and the World Health Organization range between 45-50 mg nitrate/L. The Canadian Guidelines Limit Sample for nitrate should give a result very close to the 50 ppm nitrate limit; there should be no nitrite in the Canadian Guideline Limit Sample. A darker colour means that the water Does Not meet the Canadian Drinking Water Guidelines.
