    Ask Bob at saltcorner@compuserve.com and he will give you all the right answers I promise. I will be using the Fastest kits when they arrive from the supplier, and so can't help you directly.
    Cheers

    Multiply the meq/l reading you get by counting the drops and multipling the drop count by .5. Then take this and multiply it by 2.8. We use these at the store and I use them at home and recommend them.

    with the fastest kit usually the number of drops is what you would have for your dkh. for example 10 drops would be 10 dkh.
