Help Just tested my SN

[Willowherb]

Just tested my SN using aquarium test strips and I currently feel pretty uncertain about the results.

I tested with two strips just to make sure and both got the same color, but I kinda feel like they aren't as dark as they should be so I wanted to get a second opinion.




For some reason I feel like it isn't close enough to 10mg/L, so what do y'all think ?

Should I redo the test? or should I test using a different method ?

I've been considering doing the blood test but I'm not comfortable with cutting at the moment (it's been a couple of months since the last time I did) are there any other ways I could draw blood ?
Pricking seems like a good idea but I feel like It would take too long to obtain the necessary amount, and by the time I do so the rest of the blood would've already dried.

Not asking to source, but asking in order to maybe help. Is it DMC? The colors look fine to me, different tests show diff results.

it is DMC
I've seen a couple of threads doubting the purity of DMC's SN and have gotten pretty paranoid after that

There have been at least 2 recently documented successes with DMC. The quality is fine. DMC has no reason, as it stands right now, to mess with the quality as they're well aware they're sitting on a gold mine.

Please could you let me know where you got the test strips from?
I found them on the actual Bartovation website for $20, titled 'Nitrite 0-25 ppm, Nitrate 0-500 ppm Two Pad Test Strip [Vial of 50 Strips]', are these the correct an recommended ones?
I also found some on amazon for £ 10.99 titled 'Nitrate 0-500 ppm Test Strip [Vial of 25 Strips]'.
I'm just curious if anyone reading this can lmk if any of there are the correct ones?
thank you so much
