Fas dpd reagant drips too fast

[ktmo21]

I bought a new Fas dpd reagent and the R-0871 bottle drips too fast. When I hold it vertical it just keeps dripping and dripping. Is there a way I can transfer this reagant to my old bottle to see if that fixes the problem? Or any other tips to make it stop dripping too fast?

Squeeze some air out of the reagent bottle before you invert it.

The drip caps actually come off so just swap it with one of your other ones.

I held mine at an angle to slow it down.

Reagents should be held vertically. Angling the reagent changes the size of the drops. Better to evacuate some air before inverting, then keeping the reagent vertical when using.

That worked great, thanks!

Let them form and drop under their own weight. Go Slooooooooow. Gives accurate results!

The drips too fast is due to the reagent bottle being full and having pressure from the larger amount of liquid above it. Taking the air out reduces that pressure. In a few cases, the tips are bad, but is very infrequent.
