When did they change kit? The one I have has the pain in the bottom 10 drops ca2 bottle! That looks so much easier. I too have been doing the 2 ml wrong.
1:28 I add .6 ml of the Ca-2 just like you say, until the lower end of piston is at. 4 (just like instructions say) and it turns blue. Not pink. Whats going on? Do I actually only add until the air bubble gap reaches .4 instead of the piston? Wish the video showed this. Thank you
You are wrong on the measurement marks. They are only correct if there is no air in the syringe and the end of the plunger lines up with the value you want to dose. You absolutely don't include air as part of the measurement.
You are not including air in the measurement, because that air was in the tip prior to pulling the plunger up and it will go back into the tip once you push plunger back down. If you prefill the tip with solution prior to drawing up your 1ml, then you must be careful not to drip that into your test sample once you have added the 1ml or you will be adding too much.
Thanks for the video. Great explanation.
