Notes
For accurate results with Alkaphot, crush the tablet very
thoroughly, stand for one minute and then remix the
solution. Look carefully at the bottom of the tube. If a
thin yellow layer forms, then mix the tube again. This
ensures that reaction is complete. The result should not
change on standing.
