Is it typical for the little testing dipper that comes with the R-0870 reagent to turn a rusty brown color with use? I'm guessing it's oxidation? Will that effect the test?

I have had my current kit for a couple of years. My dipper is plastic and I'm not seeing what you are seeing. But, I wouldn't think it would affect the validity of the test, though.
Well then Taylor either changed the plastic they're using or I've got some kind of contamination. I'll take a picture when I get home.

If this is a new kit, you need to return it.
If it's an old kit, you need to replace the dipper (and powder?)
I emailed in photo. It's turned into a oily black. I think it may be the dipper is coming in contact with the little foam pad packed underneath and causing some type of reaction.
