Eisenberg Lab Heavy Metal List 8/29/03
You must be formally introduced to these compounds. You may not just spontaneously start using them. Furthermore, bringing in a trainee and pointing at the heavy metals does not constitute training the trainee and will likely get you kicked out of this lab permanently.
Read the heavy metals information at the Lab Recipes web site.
The numbers refer to cap numbers (Au 3, Hg 17, etc.). Please locate these chemicals by cap number, rather than by handling every bottle.
Uranium compounds are available only by negotiation with me (Dan Anderson) and I am going to "breath down your neck" while you use them.
This HTML program makes a record of your visit so that I get a clue who's looking at this list.
