Abstract
Nitrate and nitrite measurements are common tests used to examine drinking water quality. In this report we describe an undergraduate laboratory experiment based on capillary electrophoresis (CE) for the simultaneous analysis of nitrate and nitrite in water samples. This method may be used for analyzing a wide variety of water samples and can serve as a laboratory component in either environmental chemistry or instrumental analysis.

See Letter re: this article.
Supplement
The laboratory experiment and notes for teaching assistants are WordPerfect 5.1 documents that can be accessed as either a sit file for Macintosh operating systems or a zip file for Windows. The material is also available as a pdf file, which requires Adobe Acrobat Reader.
