Hagen test kit

[Deleted member 143833]

I recently purchased a Hagen test kit (the larger, test everything one) and have a question about use.

Most of the solutions are plastic bottles, making counting and controlling "drops" very easy but some of the solutions are in glass containers (e.g., No3, #3).

I have not found a good method to control the drops from the glass containers. I turn the glass fully upside-down and count the drops but once the drops start I find it impossible to stop the drops on-time; I have taked to move the glass so the side after the correct number of drops and usually loose a drop (or slightly more) down the sink.

Any suggestions on better control?

Hello,

Thanks for your post, I have not personally used this test kit before, but I do understand your concern. I would recommend that you use the droppers that come with the kit or look into picking up a syringe this would make it easier to "drop" the solution in to the testing vial. I hope you find this information useful. please feel free to contact us with any further questions you may have.

The problem I see with using a dropper is the drop "size". The opening in the bottles controls the size of the "drop" so I would guess that using a dropper would change the amount of reagent and change the readings.
