Provides a method for the determination of nitrite (N), nitrate (N) or the sum of both [nitrite/nitrate (N)], in various types of waters (such as ground, drinking, surface, and waste waters) in mass concentrations ranging from 0,01 mg/l to 1 mg/l for nitrite (N) and from 0,2 mg/l to 20 mg/l for nitrite/nitrate (N), both in the undiluted sample.
