Pocket diagnostics-a brilliant tool

Hi how reliable is the testing kit?

[MarshallArb]

ive found them good reliability but i only use them to back up what i suspected.

 

i should also point out ive only done them from leaf samples not bark etc.

 

more a question for the manufacturers (they are very helpful give them a ring 01904 462600).

 

how to use:
