For all you Salifert Ca test kit buyers

[strictly marine]

Just wanted to Let you guys know that the MEI calcium test kits are made by Salifert and they are much Cheaper. They are exactly the same. The price for RC members are 14.99

[hisc1ay]

Why do companies do that?

[strictly marine]

They might get it from the same manufacture. Marketing has a lot to do with it and distribution.

[Habib]

They are exactly the same.

Absolutely not. Totally different.

[strictly marine]

Please let us know the difference. I was told otherwise but since you are the CEO I think your a better source.

The MEI is a drop counting method and less accurate.

The Salifert is a professional quality titration kit with a special reagent dispensing and measuring syringe.

Also the reagents are quite different.

HTH

sorry for my mistake

[Habib]

No problem. :)

We all get mis-information at times, no need to be sorry. Mike__ I am glad you are here-- helping us guys! Guess I will/ may have to try salifert kit for my cal. sometime time! BTW, I like the seachem for cal. Salifert for alk.

You know, that's what I like about RC. Only here, would the CEO of Salifert be on-line and able to address the issue directly. Pretty cool. (That is of course unless that is really a 12 year old kid pretending to be the CEO of Salifert) Hee Hee. ;)

[ranceego]

He not one of our regulars! Hey, Habib

If send me one of your test kits, I will test it and one by MEI ---

Then post my opinion, on RRC----- btw, I use seachem for cal. test allways have- so no prejudgement on my part (at least of the 2 in question!)

[strictly marine]

It does say Titration on the box of MEI. And it does have the syringe too. But what do I know.

[Charlie Davidson]

Hey Mike,

That's pretty interesting. How fine is the syringe? The salifert has two syringes (one that is large bore), the one for adding the saltwater to the titration vessel and then the other syringe (for titration) is much finer and has a very fine eppi needle attachment that goes on it... The eppi attachment is probably your standard 20 to 200 microliter size.

Do the MEI kits look like that? I really like the syringe approach as it is far more accurate than the drop method.

Peace,
John H.
