Good titration kit by NC

Comments: Nice little Ca titration kit for those who don't want to use lots of chemicals/bulky equipment. Works well with synthetic seawater, too. For careful quantitative studies, consider using metered pipettes and flat-bottomed vials to avoid pouring errors/knocking over vials during the test. The end of the test (a very fast color change) is much more obvious than the Salifert kit (which seems to keep changing over the course of a minute and confuses you as to whether the test is over or not). Good for the scientist, not so good for the accident-prone. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: All in all a fairly simple test kit to use. As far as accuracy goes having a reference sample supplied with the kit is a definite plus. People who buy this product should know you need ro/di water to do the test. May require a trip to LFS when you read the instructions the first time. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

The Standard by GREG LAWS

Comments: This is the kit the others are judged by! I have used ELOS and Salifert Calicum tests, but they don't include refernce samples. When you have a doubt about the accuracy you need this! I have had trouble with bad salt and bad test kits. I bought my kit from another online reseller but the reagent was bad. I found this out because of the refernce sample, also found out one of the other kits was bad. SeaChem offered wonderful support and FedEx me the replacement regants! Now the kit measures exactly to the refernce sample and I have confidence in the results. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: Yes it can. It is far more accurate than my old kit (which was probably out-of-date anyway). This one has a very professional feel and is well thought out. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: This is a good kit, with easy to follow instructions. The test is easy to perform and provides quick, accurate results. The only negative is that you need to have distilled or deionized (not RO) water on hand to perform the test. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
