TAYLOR R-0010-C 2OZ CALCIUM BUFFER REAGENT
Product Overview
Formulated to raise sample pH above 12, Taylor R-0010 isolates calcium ions for accurate hardness titrations.
Taylor R-0010-C Calcium Buffer comes in a 2 oz (60 mL) dropper bottle engineered to refill core drop-count test kits like the K-2006. As the critical first step in calcium hardness testing, this R-0010 reagent shifts water sample pH to precipitate out magnesium interference before titration begins. Each 2OZ bottle yields approximately 1,200 calibrated drops, keeping high-volume test kits supplied throughout the swimming season.

Benefits & What Makes It Different
60 mL (2 oz) Professional Volume
Delivers roughly 1,200 drops to replace smaller starter bottles without frequent reordering.
Magnesium Interference Blocker
Elevates sample pH to roughly 12 so that EDTA titrations calculate calcium hardness exclusively.
Calibrated Dropper Tip
Dispenses exact 25-drops-per-milliliter measurements necessary for accurate volumetric testing.
Product Details
Sodium Hydroxide solution (~8N / alkaline buffer)
Add 20 drops per 25 mL sample (or 10 drops per 10 mL sample) as directed by the test kit comparator.
Compatibility
- Taylor K-2005 series test kits
- Taylor K-2006 and K-2006C FAS-DPD test kits
- Taylor K-1770 and K-1771 Calcium Hardness drop tests
When To Use This
Pro Tip
Hold the bottle strictly vertical when dispensing drops. Inverting at an angle changes drop size, altering the sample's buffer ratio and throwing off your titration end point by 10 to 20 ppm.
Common Questions & Instructions
What test kits use the Taylor R-0010-C Calcium Buffer?
Taylor R-0010-C is used across several Taylor test kits, including the K-2005, K-2006, K-2006C, and the dedicated K-1770 calcium hardness drop test.
How many drops of R-0010 are required for a standard hardness test?
Standard instructions require adding 20 drops of R-0010 to a 25 mL pool water sample (or 10 drops for a 10 mL sample) and swirling thoroughly before adding the R-0011L indicator.
What is the shelf life of this 2 oz Taylor buffer reagent?
Taylor reagents carry an expected shelf life of 12 to 24 months when capped tightly and stored in a cool environment between 36°F and 85°F away from direct sunlight.
