You should top up the vials if the reagents inside become insufficient.

You can always use the same vial for the same reagent for refilling.


Donts


- We do not recommend washing up the glass vials. If the user did so, it is his/her responsibility, as this might affect the reagents if they were not washed well and dried properly. If you run out of ReefBot glass vials or need extra, you can order them from our website.

- You should not switch the caps between the existing glass vials. Used PTFE Septum might contain chemical sediments/residues due to testing that could affect other chemicals.

- You should not remove the PTFE septum from the cap as this will expose the reagents inside to light and air which might affect the reagents.

- You should not switch the magnetic stirrers between the glass vials

- You should not remove the magnetic stirrer from the glass vial.
- Preferably, do not use the 60ml vials for viscous reagents such as Ammonia, Phosphate, and Nitrate.
