Seachem Nitrite Nitrate Test Kits

[tony_caliente]

Did any one ever notice that the instructions call for 2 pippette samples in the same test cavity? In other words, the test cavity requires twice as much sample water than there other tests. The instructions say to "repeat" adding sample water. I just want to make sure that I am not producing a diluted sample.

Thanks for reading.

Tagging along. I've wondered this myself.

The instructions clearly state "repeat" immediatley after "fill the sample pipette.

Nitrate Test
1. If you have just run a nitrite test, you can jump to Step 3. Otherwise fill the sample pipette to base of bulb and dispense into a test cavity of a test plate. Repeat, adding to same cavity.
2. Add 1 drop of Nitrite Reagent 1.
3. Add 1 level scoop of Nitrate Reagent 2. Stir to mix. It is normal for not all powder to dissolve.
4. Compare to color chart (bottom scale) after 5-8 minutes.
5. Promptly dispose of completed test solutions by rinsing test cavity under running water.

Yep, fill it twice.
