Hanna Phosphate Checker Question

[H@rry]

I just got a Hanna Phosphate Checker. My question is: how to you get the reagent powder into the cuvette without spilling some of it? There's got to be a secret to it!

take a piece of paper and fold it in half. open it back up put powder in middle of fold and tap powder in

I always cut the top of the packet, then push the ends together to make a crease in the middle of the packet and pour it out from the center crease. Works perfect.

I actually bought a very small plastic funnel to use because it was difficult to get all of the reagent out without spilling a little. It works great!

Hanna reps recommend cutting the 2 sides of the reagent package to create a funnel.

The hanna checker is a very very finicky test. Once you have mastered adding the reagent, run a couple of tests in a row and see how different each test reads...there is more to using this test than getting the reagent in.

they should put the powder in capsule form and solve all issues...

I use the cut 2 side method and cut before I start test. Works perfect everytime

Yeah, I've started doing that and it seems to work best. I cut the package and "bend and fold" it just right and have it ready before I even get the water. I'm always conscious of the time that I take putting the reagent in and mixing so the thing doesn't time out before I can get it back in. I look at my watch and allow 90 seconds to sift it in and mix it and that always works.
