Note: After the complete installation of the NT3200sc, especially in sludge, it is possible that invalid values occur,
then the manufacturer recommends a matrix calibration. The matrix calibration makes sure to get a correct
measurement of the mixed NO
light absorption caused by the unwanted and dissolved organics. Refer to

When nitrate and nitrite are in the sample, the accuracy of NO
concentrations decrease.
