Is that I'm misunderstanding my result with MG...?
What we are talking about when we say 2 part is that you do 2 seperate tests, taking the result from the second test and subtracting it from the first test result, then the final number multiplying by 50

I am not sure what you are doing, as I have used ELOS exclusively for MG since the beginning for myself, this test hasn't changed.

Best bet is to re-read the directions.

+1 to globaldesigns ... he needs to re-test and read the directions.

If I remeber correctly, open the instruction card, the left hand side is test (part 1), after that you need to wash and get another water sample for the right hand side of the instruction card (part 2). After these 2 parts, then do the calculation.

+1 the final number is multiplied by 50 and not by 100
