TLDR
In this paper, it was shown that at a dilution of 1:200.000, and in the presence of excess sulfuric acid, as little as 0.2 μg nitrate ion forms a yellow color with chroniotropic acid.
Abstract
At a dilution of 1:200.000, and in the presence of excess sulfuric acid, as little as 0.2 μg nitrate ion forms a yellow color with chroniotropic acid. Interfering colors due to nitrites and oxidizing agents are eliminated by previous treatment of the test sample with sodium sulfite, sulfuric acid, and sulfamic acid.

Spectrophotometric determination of nitrate using chromotropic acid

TL;DR: In this paper, a spectrophotometric method is described for the determination of nitrate in the 0.5 to 50μg range using chromotropic acid as the reagent and masking agents for the elimination of possible critical interferences due to chloride, chlorine, iron(III) and oxidants.

A new method for the determination of nitrates

TL;DR: In this article, a new method for the spectrophotometric determination of nitrate is proposed based on the use of chromotropic acid, which is highly selective, very sensitive, and can be quickly and easily applied.
