There is already a review on DD test kit under our new blog section. For the Elos test kit maybe those who tried here can have their comment here ?

I am currently using Elos and like it, I trusted their results due to the following points:

• 
  
  
• Calibrated lab droppers: the accuracy of a titrimetric test kit is, in fact, strictly related to the precision of the drop size.
  
• RealColor technology: the precision of a colorimetric test kit is strictly related to the precision of the color chart. In these test we use an accurate system to calibrate the color chart compared to the reagents.
  
• The validation of each batch of reagents through the use of NIST (National Institute of Standard and Technology) certified samples.
  
• The strict control of the supply and storage chain: test kit reagents are very delicate, their accuracy is significantly influenced by storage. For this reason we keep our stock strictly under control and we suggest, to all our retailers, to do the same.
  
• The use of Lab Quality reagents: to grant a constant, precise result like only professional products may permit. Not only are the reagents included in all elos test kits precise but we use non toxic reagents whenever possible.
  
  
  As for the D&D, I believe their selling points are as follows:
  
  • 
    
  • Specifically developed with Merck (Internationally renowned lab test kit manufacturer) for the aquarium market place
    
  • Comes with 2 flat bottomed glass test tubes and a black polystyrene block, which allows the user to look down onto the colour card without any stray light or colour to alter the perception of which is the correct reading
    
  • The second test tube is used as a standard so that any colouration of the aquarium water does not affect the ability of the user to read off the concentration.
    
  • The test kit with its nice plastic case contains sufficient chemicals to carry out 100 tests after which time a refill is available rather than replacing the whole kit.
    

  I believe the above 2 are the best test kits available in the market now. Most of us who frequently use test kits will find that the lacking in accuracy when comes to the dropper, re-agent or even difficulty in reading the low range due to the colour chart provided or stray lights from our room.

  I have even encountered once when the colour charts differs between packs on the same brand!

  I have recently gotten a set of H20 too and will be doing some comparison soon.

  hi gouldian, could share the findings? thks.
