An update to the 7022 FAS-DPD kit from LaMotte in Europe. I've bought re-agents for this kit before from a very helpful person called Charlotte at lamotte-europe.com but she's just emailed me to say "Unfortunately, we cannot supply these goods currently. They have been discontinued as they do not comply with European Regulations". In a follow up email she said "Unfortunately it is to do with the labelling on all of the chemicals in this kit. There is a process to make the chemicals compliant but the LaMotte product range is huge and we don’t know when this particular kit will made compliant".
lamotte-europe.com are based in the UK but are happy to post to me in Spain but I've searched for suppliers here and I'm struggling to find anything, even the ColorQ Pro 7 is unavailable. I'm now out of CYA tablets, low on DPD powder and starting to panic. Can anyone help with where to get new FAS-DPD test kits or re-agents in Europe?
(PS My only issue with the 7022 kit is that you only get enough DPD powder to do 43 tests and only if you use level spoonfuls of powder. I doesn't say anywhere in the literature if it should be 'heaped' or 'level' spoonfuls and after asking the question I was told 'level spoons' but was never told where that answer came from so I'm still dubious about that).
PPS Sword Scientific and LaMotte-Europe are the same company at the same address. When I first emailed someone they replied with a Sword Scientific email address and the next email I received from that person was from a LaMotte Europe address.
