“quarter decaliter” makes me irrationally angry
Pentahemiliters.
No distilled water?
That’s the universal solvent. It would just eat right through the machine!
Mmm THF. In another life I had a sample I was preparing using THF as a solvent, and I didn’t know how these tiny black specks got into it. Took a moment to realize the THF had dissolved the adhesive that held the numbers and markings on the glass pipette I used to draw it from the bottle 😅
Oof, did you have to start over? What do you even put old thf in when you’re done with it
Yeah I had to start over or the synthesis would have been botched 😅
Also we had to dispose of the bottle the THF came in, since the pipette graduations were now floating around in there.
How did we dispose of it? Poured it all back into the bottle and labeled/kept it as waste.
No water?
Or iso or MEK. I guess you need the Pepsi solvent dispenser for those.
Or DMSO… My man is not doing organic chem I guess?
I’ll wait for the freestyle machine so I can order laquer thinner in my favorite flavor
but what about the situations where you need a polar aprotic solvent?
Ether would be good as gin and tonic, sub for tonic.
