Does anyone else's API test tubes leak when you shake them? I find this quite annoying not to mention semi dangerous since a lot of the chemical are strong acids haha. Anyone else have this annoying problem?

Oh and, the Nutrafin kit's are worse as the cap sits inside the glass opening.
The air trapped inside lifts the cap no matter what I do.

I absolutely believe that the leaking can and will alter the test results because the chemicals being tested are measured in parts per million.
Is it necessary to shake the test tubes? Or it sufficient to just turn it up and down? Hope I'm not off topic. But I think that helps with the leakage abit
