Can someone confirm this - Elos Alk Test

[soapy]

Try it both ways and if the results are the same then you have proven that it works equally either way... no?

I have and the results are equal - I guess elos just wants me to buy more regent from them cause you save alot by doing it the 2.5ml way.

That's a good idea!

You know that some marketing genius was behind that change. Let's dilute the reagents 50%, give the same volume as before, present it as an "improvement in resolution" and increase the price. Yay for marketing!

I thought I'd ask Rany-Holmes Farley for his opinion:

Yes, you can adjust volumes in titration kits, but reducing the volume by half increases the uncertainty in the result by a factor of two. That may be a trade off you like, however. You can also go the other way, and make the answer more precise, at the cost of more reagents.

My new test kit had a bottle twice the size of the previous one, not the same size. Maybe I was lucky!!
