Looking at using the Nyos Nitrate test kit - but it appears you can't buy reagent refills for it.
Does anyone know if that is correct?

Haven't seen any either. But if you're asking - it doesn't concern me. My basis for test kits are accuracy (test grade of course), speed (5 min to read) and ease of use (standard powder and drops)...cost comes in last (and it isn't that far off). NYOS checks all the boxes for me. Combine that with my Tropic Marin PO4 (4 min and two drops) and weekly testing is snap.

They don’t do refills as far as I know, but to be honest although the test equipment is good quality, it’s plastic and throw away so there probably is no major cost saving anyway.

I use NYOS for nitrate, calcium and magnesium there very good and also accurate against ICP tests

I should note: almost all the test kits at the second tier (I count test strips and API as first tier) check the accuracy box. I don't feel any one test kit is more accurate than another as long as you're in that second group. And I do use "first tier" products - if I want to check cycling - I go for cheap yes/no type results.
