The ELOS Mg kit is relatively complicated compared to most. You really do two separate tests, then apply some math to get your answer.
Test 1: Take a 3ml water sample and titrate using Part A until colour changes from red-orange to green. Count the drops. (for me, this is typically about 33-35 drops) Test 2: Clean/rinse the test vial; Take a new 3ml water sample. Add 5 drops of Part B. Mix 30 seconds Add one small spoonful (.15ml) of Part C powder. Mix shortly. Titrate using Part D until you see colour change from pink-violet to light-blue. Count the drops. (for me, this is typically about 5-6 drops) Math: Subtract the # of drops in Test 2, from the # of drops on Test 1...and multiply by 50 to get your answer in ppm Mg. (34-5) = 29; 29x50 = 1450ppm
