tcat said:Yeah, that black dot disappears somewhere between 100 and 40 for me.... is it a shadow, my eyes seeing spots, or just a dark murky sample?

FYI, the R0004 and R0014 are NOT the same. One is meant for the small square tube (with the TF100) and one is meant for the larger round tube (with the K-2006). That said, I am pretty sure the ingredients are the same, but the concentration is different. So, it should work, but you may have to use a different number of drops.
Here is some info ... and additional links in the thread:

EDIT SUMMARY:
You will likely have to use 2 drops of R0004 in the small square block or the colors may be too saturated
Another reason to test indoors at the same spot where the lighting is consistent. The other reason is it's closer to the 'fridge if you need an emergency cool one!and the light is never the same twice when I need to test.
Just a side note on shipping.....it has become obnoxiously expensive. They have increased in price by about 25% or so in the five years we have been shipping. (maybe more, that's a guesstimate) Today, we shipped a kit (plus a speedstir and salt test) to AZ for $23 something... Yikes
