Reagent testing
Adulterant detection: Nitrous oxide gas — no applicable colorimetric test. Industrial N2O may contain sulphur dioxide impurities (detectable by smell) or oils. Medical/culinary grade is safer.
No applicable chemical reagent test for a gas. Use culinary or medical-grade N2O cartridges to avoid industrial contaminants.
