01
Aquaculture
Spot-check nitrite and ammonium where the animals are, without sending samples to a lab.

Frequently asked questions
Do the three markets use the same device?
Yes. One reader reads every NS2 strip; only the cartridge changes with the analyte.
Is there a marine version?
Nitrite strips come in freshwater and marine variants. Marine ammonium is planned for 2028.
Can you show field experience?
Each market page lists the projects and programmes we have worked on, mostly in Portugal and elsewhere in Europe.
Can we arrange a pilot?
Yes. Use the contact form and tell us the market, the analyte and the water you work with.
