So I see it far far too often that people use the nitrate kit improperly resulting in a false reading of 0 due to the bottle not being shaken properly.
My issue with this is, that every time you use it improperly that it would throw all future readings off due to the changing ratio of the testing chemical to the fluid it's suspended in. If a person did a dozen or so nitrate tests this way; how much do you guys think that it would throw off the reading?
Also, it was asked of me to provide a link to the information that nitrate test kits measure nitrite.

I can't find the original link at the moment for the nitrate test kit that I found. I'll keep looking though.
