DPD powder is grey, is it ok?

[rastoma]

DPD powder a little over a year old (from tftestkits) is grey and I didn't really notice it until I got my new refill yesterday and it's snow white in color in comparison.

I guess my first batch started out totally white but just over time didn't notice the change.

Is it still good? I have maybe 10-15 tests left in it I think but got a refill just to have on hand.

Yes, it should still be good. You can do side by side tests with the new to compare if you like.

Yes, it is still good. As R-0870 gets older it gets darker. It is still good even if it is black. As it gets older it also tends to clump up. If it has clumped significantly, you should crush it back into a slightly lumpy powder.

Excellent, thanks.
