Nitrate is a kind of salt composed of the metal ion or ammonium ion and nitrate ion, it often a food additive widely used in food, with the role of coloring and anticorrosion, but excessive nitrate will cause harm to the human body. Nitrate can be reduced to toxic nitrite in the human body. nitrite reacts with human blood to form methemoglobin, which makes the blood lose its oxygen-carrying capacity and cause discomfort to the human body. Besides, nitrite can also react with amino acids to form carcinogenic nitrosamines. Therefore, the determination of nitrite and nitrate in plant-derived foods is of great significance to the risk assessment of human health and food safety assessment. Lifeasible has built a mature detection platform to provide customers with accurate and rapid detection and analysis of nitrate and nitrite in botanical samples. Lifeasible has never been satisfied with the status quo, and our team of experts has been developing more scalable service content.

What We Offer

• Detection of nitrate and nitrite in plant samples (including solid-liquid plant-derived food samples).
• Pre-treatment of the test sample (including the treatment of the control sample).
• Safety evaluation of samples (food safety evaluation, use safety evaluation, etc.).
• Quality evaluation of samples (agricultural products, vegetables, food, etc.).

*The testing project is constantly updated, please contact our staff by email for more up-to-date and relevant information.

Sample Requirement

• This project only supports fresh and clean plant samples (> 4 g). If you have special needs, please contact our staff by email.

*The experimental samples will not be returned, please back them up by yourself. Before sampling, it is necessary to set up the control group and the experimental group, and each group is suggested to repeat more than 3 times.
*Quick-frozen preservation with liquid nitrogen can minimize the leakage time of plant samples at room temperature.
*There is no restriction on plant varieties. For varieties with special requirements or rare varieties, please contact our staff for more information.
