Can Cupramine Levels Be Checked With Hanna Checker?

[Kengar]

self-explanatory question.

I never liked the SeaChem multi-guess, or, I mean multi-test kit approach and would greatly welcome the ease/accuracy of Hanna checker, but I'm not sure whether Hanna will be checking for copper in the same "form" as what you get with Cupramine.

Thanks.

Yes, the Hanna checker is compatible with all forms of copper including ionic e.g. Cupramine.

Just know that there is a +/- 0.05 ppm margin of error.

Thanks!

Is any sort of conversion of results required, or is the result you see the number you want to have at the recommended treatment level per dosing instructions?

Nope, the number you see is the ppm copper level. I would aim for 0.6 with Cupramine, to be sure you stay above therapeutic.
