To follow up, the test passed just fine. Still, very nervewracking and it was more of a surprise to find out the test was ok. Definitley expected to be retesting, but not necessary.

I as well, will probably go with the more reputable quick fix next time. Synthetix5 did indeed work, the conditions were absolutley perfect, measured with a digital thermometer prior to sample submission.

there you go guys, if you're in a bind, synthetix5 will do the job. it was cheap too, $25.
