How to know if a SN source is pure enough

[that_miqo'te]

I have a polish source we'll call OM, that doesn't specify purity for the SN, though they claim everything they supply is the maximum purity they can get, how do I know if this is pure enough?

Realistically they can write anything on their website and you can only really know after you've received the product and tested it. I would say if it is a company that officially sells chemicals they wouldn't "cheat" their customers - that's what I would assume.

You can test it with nitrite sticks. They're like the same sticks used to detect drugs in piss tests. I actually got three batches of SN from three different sellers claiming their SN was at least 98% pure. When I tested it, all three came showed no traces of nitrite.

Were those sellers official chemical suppliers?

Yes and no.

One was a scam.

The other was listed as "technical grade 99% pure" Pro-Cure Sodium Nitrite, 2 Pounds, White. I am not a chemist and called the supplier. She affirmed that what I bought was SN and 99% pure and their supplier was from India. I ordered one jar from the jungle store and another jar from a hole in the wall online sporting goods store.

I have the same source... guess testing is the only option, right. Even though tests still prove nothing but that it's not completely fake and there is presence of nitrite...

Let me know your result if you manage to test
