How do I care for and clean my test tubes?
After each test, it is essential to rinse the test tubes with water immediately to prevent staining. Avoid twisting the cap; instead, gently open it and run water through the tube to thoroughly rinse out the reagents. If any residue remains from a forgotten test, use a small bottle brush with API Safe & Easy cleaning spray to gently clean the tube’s interior. Avoid soap, as residue may harm fish when reused.
How hard should I shake the test tube when performing tests?
Shake reagent bottles vigorously as indicated, but shake the test tubes more gently. Ensure the cap is tight, then mix the test tube contents by inverting the tube back and forth every 1-2 seconds for the specified duration. This gentle shaking effectively blends the contents without causing the cap to loosen.
