Review on ๐Ÿงช Karter Scientific 208V2 Detachable Plastic Labware by Josh Whitehead

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not as pictured and quite flimsy

Like many others, I got this for testing aquarium water - I have multiple tanks and test them all at once and it helps me stay organized. Mine arrived safely. and was relatively easy to assemble. However, it's a bit flimsy and doesn't offer much support when capping the bottles while they're in the rack. It also doesn't fit perfectly, and some of the holes make it almost impossible to slide a vial through the second tier, even with everything set up correctly. Another disappointment for me was the color. The photos show a clear stand which I would prefer. Instead I got a translucent blue. This means I can't judge my results at a glance as the color of the rack skews the color of the tubes. Using this to test an aquarium means your ammonia test will look a little green even if the readings are perfect - I stopped looking at the tubes until it was time to take them out and compare because it something scared me!

Pros
  • Handy item
Cons
  • So far so good
