The sensors are calibrated by a simple, economical, and a reliable chemical reaction for NO production. This reaction is based on the conversion of nitrite to nitric oxide in acidic solution in the presence of iodide ion. The reaction has a ratio of one to one, meaning that the amount of NO produced in this reaction equal to the amount of nitrite added. Of course other methods such as SNAP and NO saturated solutions can be used.
