Elos Mg Test Kit

newsalt · 03-13-2008, 10:41 PM

Just received an Elos Mg Test Kit. The instructions say that one drop from Reagent C is 100mg/L. I read on some other forums that 1 drop may be 75 mg/L. How do i know if the kit I have should be 100mg/L per drop or 75 mg/L? There is a date of 02/10 written under the UPC code does that mean anything?

2/10 is the expiration date. Can't help on the other, sorry

that's feb/2010.

I would stick with the directions your test came with and ignore the forums. You could also email Elos your question. I hear they have a great customer service.

I just did a quick read up on the test kit and there lab grade calibrated droppers for that specific test kit. Agian i would follow the directions.
I am going to give Elos test s a try i think.

follow the instructions included. The 75mg/l refers to the older test kits...you have the newer one.

I only know about the one that have 2-09 is 75 per Elos when I called Ellos USA, I think they are in CA so the time difference you may have to wait a few hours, I think the guy I talk to was Greg. I do not have there number any more, but I think I got it off there web site.

From what I have heard, the ones with the 75 they changed the directions so they say 75. I know they did that with some anyway.

Hmm, and how far did you have to go to get that number? I know, you have it memorized or at least in your phone.

Sorry for the late reply. The 12/2009 was done in 75ppm and the new kits are 100ppm. The 2/10 kits are the newest batch and they are 100ppm. Let me know if you have any other questions.
