You must be formally introduced to these compounds. You may not just spontaneously start using them.
I keep them locked up in 219A and I will closely supervise their use and that trainees are trained.
Read the heavy metals Standard Operating Protocol under Recipes at the lab web site
The numbers refer to the cap labels. Please locate these chemicals by cap number, rather than by
lifting every bottle.
Uranium and Thorium compounds were removed from 219A (LA404) on May 5, 2010.
