I’m stupid

[stevolough]

I’m sure most know this but I didn’t realize there were two Hanna ultra low testers. I thought there was only the standard and ulr. So I bought the wrong Reagent for it the last time without realizing it. Been fighting with Dinos a while with the wrong info. Just thought I’d share Incase others don’t realize it.

If it helps, the Hanna reagents start with the model of the tester.

I probably wouldn't have even thought about this. Thanks for sharing!

On the other hand, it's really confusing that the individual reagent pack will say, for example, HI774-0, but the box is labeled HI774-25.
The box and the packets really should have the exact same number on them so that people don't walk out empty handed thinking the LFS doesn't have the correct reagent.

ETA, here's a picture (from the BRS website) showing it. If I walk into the LFS with a picture of the reagent pack, the number is going to be close, but not the same, as the number on the box. It took a few times before I figured out that out.

The "-25" means there are 25 packets. And yes, it's a bit confusing at times.

I appreciate that but I didn’t know there was a phosphorus version and a phosphate version

You can go to Hanna's website and enter your tester model and it will list what reagents you need for it.
