摘要
An automatic colorimetric procedure for measuring nanomolar quantities of nitrate and nitrite in seawater has been improved in sensitivity. Application of this method to in situ investigations in the North Atlantic Ocean in January 1989 and algal culture (Skeletonema costatum) experiments in the laboratory demonstrated that one can record concentrations in the 0 to 100 n M range using classical Technicon AutoAnalyzer equipment. In this working range highest precision obtained was ±2.87 and ±1.24 n M for nitrate and nitrite, respectively. © 1990 Springer-Verlag.
