The reagent syringe should be fine as is. The test tubes should be okay with a rinse. I'd probably use RO/DI water for a final rinse, but I'm the picky type.

I dont rinse the reagent syringe. The test tube I just rinse with tap water but then make sure and rinse them with tank water before I test.

I'm picky too!!! I have a RO/DI line plumbed to the utility room over the sink. I use it ALL the time to "final" rinse stuff. It just makes me feel better.

i dont rinse yringe. I rinse vial in tap water a few times & air dry. Before next use I rinse the vial in tank water a few time before filling for my sample.

Do this with all my test kit vials!
