SN testing

[lostintheraincirce]

Hello to everyone.
I bought sn and I would like to test its purity with the strips. I realized that my father has these Bartovation strips but they only test nitrites, not nitrates (see photo). Can I use them to test Sn or should I get other strips that also test nitrates, always Bartovation or other tests for the aquarium (?)? Thank you all very much.

Problem with SN testing information

I'm making this post because I'm worried that people might be testing their SN wrongly. If I'm right, then tests done with the method explained in the SN bible (and everywhere else I have found on this site) will lead to an underestimation of the tested SN purity. This, in turn, may worsen...

Thank you. I haven't read It But i'm going to read It. But i have bought SN in 2022 and then in 2024, i've tested with Blood and the results weren't good. So i've decided to use hanging or other methods.
Thank you!
