Mixing KNO3 in solution with Amino Acids

[xiaoxiy]

Hey guys,

I've been mixing KNO3 in RODI water for my nitrate solutions, but am thinking about dissolving the KNO3 in Acropower instead. Does anyone foresee any obvious precipitation events or reactions that could occur from the mixture?

Potassium nitrate is compatible with that and nearly anything else, although you need to be careful to not make a great bacterial broth that may become a bubbling mess. [emoji23]

Awesome! I love nasty bacterial broths ;Vomit.

Just out of curiosity, KNO3 is compatible with iron gluconate too right?
