SOEKS EcoVisor F4 has mastered the measurement of nitrate ions content in fruits and vegetables. A percentage of these in fruit and
vegetables is identified by an independent analysis method (potentiometric identification of nitrate content according to Russian
National Standard (GOST) “Fruit and vegetables recycling products. Nitrate content identification”).
The result of express analysis is shown by the device in the form of nitrate ion concentration and its comparison to maximum
permissible concentration for certain product. The device measures the nitrate concentration per kilogram of net product. 200-300
mg of nitrates eaten within 24 hours is considered to be safe for an adult. If 600-700 mg is eaten within 24 hours, nitrates are
considered toxic.
For instance, when measuring a beetroot, the device shows 1000 mg of nitrates per kg. According to the standard measurement, it is
safe to only eat 200-300 mg of this beetroot without damaging your health.
When measuring a watermelon, the device shows 350 mg/kg. If a person eats 2 kg of watermelon, he or she will consume 700 mg
(350 mg / kg x 2 kg) which is toxic.
One should also understand that the shown result is evaluative and cannot be compared to quantified chemical analysis at an
advanced laboratory. That kind of analysis requires a lot of time and is not free. Nevertheless, the presence of such laboratory and
qualified analytical chemist at home is impossible for the majority of people. The EcoVisor F4 is a like portable lab that allows you to
avoid buying suspicious products. This will help protect yourself, your relatives and children from being exposed to these poisonous
products.
The nitrate tester analysis takes only a few seconds. The only maintenance it requires is to change the battery or charge the
accumulator just as you would your mobile phone.
Of course, you may ask yourself is there an increased electrical conductivity if a fruit or vegetable does not contain nitrate ions? This
is possible. But will the consumer feel safer buying a product with increased amount of phosphates or any other ions instead of
nitrates or when buying a product that is already going bad? One should not forget that basic electrical conductivity is determined
for every single type of fresh fruit or vegetable. When a product goes bad, the content and concentration of organic acids change.
ATTENTION! We strongly do not recommend to measure nitrate content in liquids, chemically and heat-treated products,
products that are not included in the device’s menu list. Received data will be misleading and uncertain.
One should also remember that the device is designed for
measuring products at a room temperature. Change of the
product temperature can increase measurement uncertainty. This
regards to products that have just been taken out of fridge or have
been exposed to sun rays. In SOEKS EcoVisor F4 there is a
function of thermal compensation, which is achieved by
means of embedded temperature gauge in probe of the
device. Thanks to software patches, when measuring you
can get the same measurement result even when
temperatures of measured products are different.
