Particles in Alkalinity reagent

[raultsu]

anyone ever notice some chunky particles in the reagent? I tested this morning and got a very high reading. i shook the reagent and retested and got a lower reading. Anyone else experience this?

Yea raul I get this all the time, just make sure the particles dont float near the sensor when checking.

Me too, retested when I first noticed and the reading was the same.

Yeah I got a reading of 11 and I freaked out because it was 9.5 yesterday morning. But after shaking up the reagent bottle there where no more bits and retested, got a reading of 9.5

I always shake really well and have not had problems with this.

Finding “chunks” in your HI755-26 reagent is no cause for concern. There are no reportable problems associated with “chunks” and you can gently shaking the bottle before use to mitigate any particulates. Should you see chunks in your cuvette we recommend letting them settle to the bottom or rising to the top before preforming analysis.
