Surfactant Analysis

Can someone suggest simple ways to analyze for the amount of nonionic and anionic surfactant in a zinc-nickel plating solution?

I would suggest checking the surface tension to measure the amount of surfactant found in your bath. A fairly quick and simple test which can yield great results.
