Specific by design
An enzyme layer reacts only with nitrite, even in marine or murky water.
Electrochemical sensing for water
Lab-grade from one drop.
NS2 measures nitrite, nitrate and ammonium with a handheld reader, single-use strips and an app.
The science behind the sensor
Biology for specificity, electrochemistry for speed
Patent protected
European patent granted · US patent pending.
Turbidity-free
We measure an electric current, not a color, so cloudy water doesn't distort results.
Peer reviewed
More than 25 years of published research behind every strip.
Technology
Reader, strips, app
Three parts, one workflow: add a drop, read the result, keep the record.
01
Reader
A compact handheld electrochemical reader.
- Pocket-sized and rugged
- Reads every NS2 strip
- Pairs with the app
- Electrochemical measurement, lab-grade results
- Battery-powered for use in the field
02
Strips
Single-use sensing strips, one per analyte. One drop is enough.
- Nitrite, nitrate and ammonium
- Freshwater and Marine variants
- A single drop per test
- Pre-calibrated, no reagents to mix
- Individually sealed pouches
03
App
Results, history and export on your phone.
- Guided measurement
- Sample history and notes
- Export for reporting
- Results logged by sample and site
- Connects to the reader via Bluetooth
