And here is where things alway go wrong it seems the color of my solution is a very dark green/nearly black which according to the directions should start with pink and change to blue. I've added up to 24 drop of)reagent D and there has been no color changes (which seems like a lot)

Can anyone help me, I'm I missing something or doing anything wrong? ELOS Mg also seems to have the most steps in a Mg test i've ever seen.
HAHAHAHA i did the same thing last week, the whole time Im thinking "this cant be right"

Open letter to Elos: I'm paying out the rear for your kit so gimme two test tubes so it's obvious two tests occur and more importantly I don't have to clean one in-between tests!

I would agree, two vials would make things seem a little clearer what to do, and i hate having to clean vial between tests.

once you run out of reagent A and buy a second test kit, voila, second test tube
