    I was wondering if anyone has had different results with there calcium and strontium tests. I use Saliferts test kits and the calcium test came up with 440 but then my strontium showed it at 476. Is that normal to come up with diff. results or could one of my test kits be bad.

    To me, that's not too big a discrepancy. I would see what the error value is first, usually it's plus/minus 20ppm. Also make sure each test is measuring the same Ca ion.
