Lewstherin Posted August 2, 2009 CID Share Posted August 2, 2009 Just popping in for a quick introduction Nice to meet you all. I'll start by saying I'm no network specialist, my expertise lies in a different area (I'm a chemist, so the two fields aren't exactly immediately related), but I'm certainly glad there's such a huge pool of actual specialists hanging around here.

zalternate Posted August 3, 2009 CID Share Posted August 3, 2009 I think there was a chemist question awhile back from one of the Ryan. About where to get some specialty drug store type items. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starship_troopers Posted August 3, 2009 CID Share Posted August 3, 2009 that was me. about ferric nitrate and something else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewstherin Posted August 3, 2009 Author CID Share Posted August 3, 2009 Ferric Nitrate? You could try calling local suppliers for metalworking/refining. Or, if you're inclined to ordering chemicals online, United Nuclear has some for 20$ per half pound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewstherin Posted August 3, 2009 Author CID Share Posted August 3, 2009 Actually, if you're not in need of large quantities of either, your best bet is ebay. Right now there is a bottle of each (30g, about an ounce) for 5.50 USD. Now, I don't know the seller's shipping policies or charges, but an ounce of each for likely less than 30$ isn't a bad deal for chemicals you'd likely have to special order from a supply house (either in bulk, or 500g ACS reagent grade stuff, not necessary unless you're doing analytical work with it; that's assuming they sell to individuals as well as organizations (not usually)). Ebay can be a pretty great place to pick up nice stuff: my crown jewel of ebay purchases was 13 oz of pure sodium metal for about 50$, around 5 years ago. Still got most of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
