The manufacturer test list also names stabilizer, so read the tube label for the exact pads on the batch you receive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReading them properly\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDip the strip once and pull it straight out. Do not shake it or swirl it through the water, and hold it level rather than letting the pads run into each other. Compare against the color chart on the tube in the time the label calls for, in daylight if you can. A strip read too early or too late will send you chasing a problem that is not there.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStrips are hygroscopic. Leaving the cap off, or handling the pads with wet fingers, spoils the whole tube.
