AND...AND.... Any test kit that requires you to count drops just can't be as accurate. Counting drops is just a bad way to do a titration. There's no accurate calibration of the drop size. It never fails that sometimes a smaller drop comes out because it picks up a bit of air bubble. What then? Do you count that as half a drop? A moment of distraction and you lose your count. A bit too hard a squeeze and 3 or 4 drops come out...was that 3 or 4 that just came out?

A bad idea all around.
