  rinse -> acetic acid -> rinse -> Acqua regia-> Rinse -> Pirahna solution -> Rinse -> 500°C oven -> Rinse

  I would then drink from it without even worrying

    Is NileRed then too cautious when he only uses fresh breakers for stuff he is going to eat?

      The cost of a fresh beaker is worth mitigating the risk.

        That could be argued, but where does it stop? New stir bars? New thermometer probe every time?

      he’s lucky to have a big enough channel to be able to afford 40000$ NMR machines, so a couple beakers aren’t that much of an expense for much more safety

      but as a home chemist, there is NO WAY I’m getting new beakers every time I wanna do edible chem, especially pyrex branded ones like Nile does. Lab equipment, even basic glassware, is ridiculously overpriced
