The Griess (nitrite) test is a simple, inexpensive, and rapid method for detecting bacteriuria. However, a working knowledge of its limitation should be considered during its interpretation.

Background: Monitoring nitrate and nitrite levels in water is vital for protecting human health, aquatic ecosystems, and regulatory compliance. However, traditional detection methods often involve environmentally harmful chemicals. This study introduces a sustainable alternative by leveraging metabolically engineered E.

Cow milk is readily adulterated due to its complex properties that can emulsify many adulterants. Among the commonly used adulterants in cow milk are hydrogen peroxide (HP) and nitrite. Commercially available HP is added to extend cow milk's shelf life, while nitrite enters through the tap or pond water added to increase cow milk's volume.

Wet chemical sensors autonomously sample and analyze water using chemical assays. Their internal fluidics are not susceptible to biofouling (the undesirable accumulation of microorganisms, algae, and animals in natural waters) due to the harsh chemical environment and dark conditions; however, the sample intake and filter are potentially susceptible. This paper describes the use of copper intake filters, incorporated to prevent fouling, on two different wet chemical nitrate sensors that each use different variants of the Griess assay (in particular, different nitrate reduction steps) to quantify nitrate concentrations.

Background: The rapid and sensitive detection of nitrite is important to human health protection due to its carcinogenic and teratogenic risks with excessive intake. The Griess assay is widely applied for the design of nitrite detection system. However, its relatively slow reaction kinetics and sole colorimetry mode might limit it's the sensitivity and practical application.

The electrocatalytic aqueous ammonia oxidation (AO) represents a more sustainable alternative to accessing nitrite (NO) and nitrate (NO). We now report that Cu(pyalk) {pyalk = 2-(pyridin-2-yl)propan-2-oate}, previously employed as a homogeneous water oxidation (WO) catalyst, is also active for selective AO in aqueous environments. The traditional Griess analytical test for NO/NO was modified to permit the operation in the presence of the otherwise interfering Cu ion.
