Red Sea Phosphate Pro Pipettes

[GammaYankee]

My cat chewed up the pipettes that comes with the Red Sea Phosphate pro test kit. Any idea how many ml of reagents A (13 drops) and reagent B (4 drops) should I add? Thanks in advance. And here is the suspect.

Wouldn’t buying some droppers at the pharmacy probably be better?

By the way, a drop is usually between 20-30 uL so you’re looking at around 260-390 uL for first reagent and between 80-120 uL for the second. So mL based measurements are unlikely to work unless you have micro pipettes.

Where is the cat buried?

Sorry about the tools, I don't have those testers to investigate. :rolling-on-the-floor-laughing:

Thanks! But those droppers might be different from the red sea one? I was planning to use the syringe that came with my red sea alk test kit to measure the reagent. I have moved to hanna for Alk anyways. Would that work?

He is in the process of transforming into a catfish. :beaming-face-with-smiling-eyes:

It should. I would do 0.35 mL for reagent 1 and .1 mL for reagent 2.

For future reference. The amount of reagent B added by the pipette (4 drops) should be 0.02 ml, per RedSea development team.
