I do not know if these are new to the market or not but the price looked right so I ordered a couple with some other dry goods. I tried the Calcium and the Alk test kits. Surprisingly the readings that I get are real darn close to the readings that I get with my Salifert kits. I did both Alk and Calcium testes 2 days in a row with both kits. Both times the ALK tests were identical and the calcium is about 10PPM different. Anyone else use these?
