When the oil sample is poured into the tube, the blue reagent must reach 140°F / 60°C to dissolve. To achieve this temperature, there are three options:
- a) Pour the oil sample at room temperature into the tube, up to the lower part of the label. Put the open tube in a microwave (use a small glass or something similar to prevent the tube from tipping) and heat for 5 to 10 seconds at maximum power. Do not heat for more than 10 seconds.
- b) Alternately, heat some water to boiling temperature and dip the (properly closed) tube until the reagent is dissolved, approximately 45 seconds.
- c) Place the tube in the anti-burn holder and pour the warm oil sample (at least 140°F / 60°C) up to the lower part of the label. Wait a few seconds, then close the tube tightly and remove the anti-burn holder. If the sample does not melt the blue reagent, follow option a) or b).
Shake the tube well to dissolve the reagent and produce a uniform mixture (about 60 seconds). The color changes as the oil mixes with the reagent.
