I made my own test sheep PDFs for all most of the API and SALIFERT tests. I hated worrying about the cards and the instructions all the time, so i scanned everything into my computer and then used photoshop to grab the chart colors and make my own sheets. i think they are a little easier to work with and i made them to use on the computer screen. I think using the white from the computer screen is easier than trying to find a well lit white wall. Just make sure that you check against any other cards you have to make sure your screen colors are accurate. I use them and hope others can use them too. Took me a while to make em, and would be a waste if i didn't share.

I've pretty much gone to instrumentation. Those test kits suck. Hanna makes some nice stuff that's only $50. Just something to think about. For example
