Every year, millions of people around the world suffer ill health after consuming nitrate-infused produce. Nitrate and nitrite are considered hazardous, and there are legal limits to their concentration in food and drinking water. High concentration of nitrate in plants is attributable to the use of nitrogen fertilizer by some farmers seeking to make their vegetables grow faster. Accumulation of high levels of nitrate occurs when the plants are unable to perform photosynthesis due to exposure to insufficient levels of sunlight. Nitrate from fertilizer accumulates in vegetables and fruit, and large-scale livestock production yields huge amounts of manure rich in nitrate that seeps into groundwater. Therefore, keeping nitrate concentrations below legal limits is a struggle even for organic produce farmers. The importance of knowing whether your food has safe levels of nitrate cannot be overemphasized. We need to have an awareness of how many nitrates we are consuming. This is because nitrate poisoning has proved to cause some types of cancer and a blood disorder known as methemoglobinemia which inhibits oxygen distribution within the body.
SOEKS Nitrate Tester 2.0 provides the perfect solution of testing nitrate content levels in what you consume. This is why the tester has become so popular among people who aim towards a healthier lifestyle. SOEKS Nitrate Tester 2.0 is the latest food nitrate measuring solution offered by SOEKS. This model launched in 2015 and incorporates a new, enhanced processor and improved interface to make it even more user-friendly and easier to operate. The new advanced interface will suit every user with all functions being accessible with one or two button clicks. This presents a particular advantage to use with kids as they will be able to test their fruit and veggies for dangerous nitrate levels. It will not only teach them about healthy food choices, but also about how to avoid produce which is not safe for them to consume. This model is the third generation of the tester.
SOEKS Nitrate Tester is specifically designed for express analysis of nitrate content in fresh fruit and vegetables. Analysis of nitrates content is made by measuring the conductivity of high-frequency alternating current in the measured product. The device has a programmed MPC (maximum permissible concentration) for each product. Unlike outdated devices with needle indicator in which the products were combined into groups the nitrate tester is set to a specific product. As a result of measurement, you will see the exact amount of nitrate content in milligrams per kilogram of the analysed product on display, as well as recommendations on suitability for use of green, yellow or red indications. The tester has a sound warning. You can easily operate and use the product without having to check the manual over and over again. With its bright TFT display, you can easily read the measurements presented on the screen. No problem in charging it as well. You can easily charge it on your car or on your computer using only a USB wire adapter. It has a radiation counter and a nitrate meter in one. The device is small and compact, easy to put into a handbag just like any mobile phone. Newer firmware versions also enable you to have an alarm sound without sensor sound, and display a radiation trend on the main screen.
