  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?

      This image is a reference to things like this, where you send dry (containing low water content) solvent through a column of activated alumina to make it even more dry.

      It doesn’t really work as well with some solvents. The one I used in grad school had DCM, toluene, THF, and acetonitrile. If we needed dry DMSO, DMF, DMAc, acetone, MEK, or alcohols they had to come from a sealed bottle.

        Does that come with a subscription service?

      ugh…fucking organic chemists and DMSO…DMSO is reactive, worst choice for a solvent.

    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?

  These things are mostly used for dry, waterfree solvents.

  We do proper science here, which explodes and/or becomes useless if it sees even one water molecule. So no, no water! Begone with your aquatic sin!
