DPD powder from different manufacturers are the same?

[ellislo]

Currently I am using Lamotte test kit. I am looking to get refill from alternative source as it takes 2mth from order to delivery from the local LaMotte distributor in M’sia.

I found Taylor 0870-I DPD from Amazon, which they can ship to M’sia. Wondering whether I can use this instead of the DPD from LaMotte....

Lets ask @Jimrahbe as he uses the LaMotte tester...

E,

I use the LaMotte ColorQ, which is not the same type of kit you have.

I do not know for sure that the Taylor powder will work, or not, but if I were in your shoes, for $13 bucks, I would try it. Run a test with the old powder and compare it with the new powder and see if the results are about the same.

Thanks,

Jim R.

I am in the UK and couldn’t get the LaMotte DPD powder so ordered the Taylor powder from America and it works fine with the LaMotte titrant.

I don't know for certain, but I believe it will work as well.
