Used primarily in the calibration and validation of analytical instruments in laboratories, standard liquid sodium nitrite serves as a reference solution for accurate quantification of nitrite content in various samples. It is essential in environmental testing, particularly for monitoring nitrite levels in water and wastewater to ensure compliance with regulatory standards. In the food industry, it helps in quality control processes to measure residual nitrite in cured meats and other preserved products, ensuring safety and adherence to food regulations. The standardized concentration allows for reliable titration procedures and spectrophotometric analysis, providing consistent and reproducible results across testing procedures.
