  1. drop checker not quite work

    I made ~1L of 4dkH solution on 3/19/2013, and I'm pretty excited when I knew the drop checker ordered 3 weeks ago arrived today (ship from Hong Kong).

    Surprisingly the package come with a indicator, I thought it is a plus.
    Then I tried to set the DC up. Fluid refused to get pass the narrow neck of the DC... solved using a plastic transfer pipettes.
