Tetenal RA4 Blix Pt2 Cloudy - Is it dead (& how do I test)?

Evening all,

I'm just in the process of mixing up what would be my last batch of RA4 chems. While the developer looks OK, I have concerns about the blix. The second part of it (the clearer solution) has gone really cloudy and I got to admit that I am concerned that it has seen better days. Basically it looks like milk with a green tinge.

Would it be a fair assumption that it's not worth using? Is there anyway to test? BTW, the pack was originally opened 12 months ago and I did get a good run out of it earlier in the year, so its no major loss if it is (apart from the fact that I wanted to do some colour printing tonight.....looks like its black and white now!)

Cheers

Yes it is dead. It is basically fixer (ammonium thiosulphate), the sulphur has come out.

Thats what I thought (& my assumption was correct as well that it was the fixer) - oh well, I didn't get that last run that I was hoping from the kit. Off to the shops I go!
