From: Carolyn SampsonDate: March 18, 2009 10:41:27 AM EDT (CA) Subject: RE: [DCHAS-L] Procuring Acetonitrile We started capturing our waste and distilling it several years ago as a cost savings so we have inadvertently protected ourselves at least a little. We use a simple benchtop still (located in a hood). You need to account for the water content. (84% acetonitrile, 16% water) Also, depending on your sensitivity needs, you can simply re-use the waste. That causes a baseline shift, of course, but you can sometimes deal with that for a short while. Good luck! Carolyn Carolyn J.
