That would be 9.5 dkh on the elos test kit. There is an error on the instructions, they have not been updated. Read from the back of the card. 1 drop is equal to .5 dkh.

HAHAHA, u were right, i just notice on the card 1 drop = .5 dkh,

thanks for all you guy's help

messed me up when i bought a new kit also.
im not sure but i think both the old and new alk tests have a 20ml bottle of solution which means you now get half of the tests as you used to but they are accurate down to .5 instead of 1 whole point
