Choosing the best nitrate meters and nitrate testers in 2020

Nowadays, many vegetables appear on store shelves much earlier than their due date. This is explained by the fact that fertilizers are used for their cultivation, and in large quantities. Thus, nitrates accumulate in vegetables, which is very dangerous for the human body. If their number is normal, then it is not so dangerous, but an "overdose" of such elements is fraught with consequences.

In order not to suffer from the "modern filling" of fruits and vegetables, you need to buy a special device to detect it. By choosing the best nitrate meters and nitrate testers in 2020, you can be sure of your health, because you can always find out the level of harmful substances in food. Especially those used to prepare meals for small children.

What to look for when choosing

The device for measuring the amount of nitrates is used only in everyday life. With its help, you can determine how dangerous it is to eat not only vegetables, but also the meat of various animals. After all, they are fed with feed, which is also fertilized with nitrate chemicals. There are two types of nitrometers on the market:

• digital;
• analog.

Before buying a device for measuring nitrates, you need to find out the characteristics of the models presented, weigh the pros and cons and choose the best one. Each nitrate meter is equipped with:

• electronic scoreboard;
• built-in program with a list of products;
• a probe with which the product is checked;
• batteries or accumulator for power supply.

In addition, each device has similar characteristics, but at the same time they differ from each other in the time during which the measurement takes place, as well as in the error allowed during the measurement. It is these parameters that must be paid attention to when buying a nitrate tester.

Nitrate testers manufacturers

Nitrate measuring devices are manufactured in many laboratories. On the market are products of the Russian company Soeks and the company ANMEZZ from Hong Kong. Devices from both companies work in a similar way.

Soeks company started its activity in 2008. It is the largest company in Russia, employing leading developers who produce devices used to control the ecological environment, medical equipment, as well as measuring instruments.

Products manufactured by this company are sold in every city of Russia. In addition, they are imported to other countries. In 2011, Soeks began to expand and opened its representative offices in such countries as:

• Tokyo;
• Japan.

Devices manufactured at the enterprises of this company are in great demand in the countries:

• USA;
• Germany;
• Japan;
• France;
• Belgium;
• Greece;
• Vietnam;
• Australia.

Soeks has patented its own trademark, which only it has the right to use. The main production lines are located in Perm, while the office is located directly in Moscow.

The principle of the device

The basic principle of operation is based on the determination of electrical conductivity in vegetables, fruits and other food products. Depending on this, the level of concentration of nitrates and salts in food is determined. In order for vegetables to grow, they need elements such as:

• potassium;
• magnesium;
• iron;
• copper;
• chlorine;
• organic acids.

But modern farmers use large quantities of nitrate fertilizer for rapid growth. Moreover, with its help, vegetables and fruits ripen three times faster than with normal growth. Thus, several crops are harvested per season, which is completely unnatural. It is in such products that nitrates accumulate, which vegetables did not have time to process. They are in most cases the reason for the increase in electrical conductivity.

Rating of nitrate testers and nitrate meters for 2020

Only after the rating of nitratomers, their cost and principle of operation, has been studied, it will be possible to opt for one or another model. For each model, the error in determining the level is not the same, therefore, you need to pay attention to this indicator when buying a nitrate meter.
