Usage

Description

POTASSIUM NITRITE (15N) is a chemical compound that contains both potassium and nitrite ions, with the nitrogen isotope 15N. It is commonly used in agriculture as a fertilizer and in the preservation of meats. This isotope-labeled form of potassium nitrite is often used in scientific research and studies to trace and track the movement and transformation of nitrogen in various systems, such as soil and water.
Used in Agricultural Industry:
POTASSIUM NITRITE (15N) is used as a fertilizer for promoting plant growth and development due to its potassium content, which is essential for various physiological processes in plants.
Used in Food Industry:
POTASSIUM NITRITE (15N) is used as a preservative in the meat industry to enhance color, flavor, and shelf life of meat products.
Used in Scientific Research:
POTASSIUM NITRITE (15N) is used as a tracer in studies to track and analyze the movement and transformation of nitrogen in various systems, such as soil and water, providing valuable insights into nitrogen cycling and environmental processes.
Note: As with its non-isotopic counterpart, POTASSIUM NITRITE (15N) can pose health risks if ingested in large quantities, so caution should be exercised when handling and using this chemical.
