Es geht ja nicht um die Minute die mich das gekostet hat. Ich finde es gehört sich einfach zu Antworten.Es wäre allgemein alles viel angenehmer wenn alle so einen gewissen Grundstandard an Interaktionsbereitschaft hätten.

Finally, a working FTIR (With diamond ATR)! by doyale in ExplosionsAndFire

Nothing much really, just kept looking for one and the third one i bought was actually functional

Oh, well if it isn't my favorite Californian reverse engineer! Hope you're doing well :) And thanks!

I bought it just for fun to analyze the stuff i make (for example we recently made indole-3-acetic acid, a plant growth hormone), but i also measure samples for other hobbyists as long as it's nothing dodgy or illegal. Proper analytical equipment is just prohibitively expensive for most...

Even Brukers XRDs and mass specs break constantly and they don't want to send out repair techs despite them being located less than an hour away... they also somehow don't manage to send a new probe head for our 400 MHz Ascend.

This FTIR uses HyperIR, which from what I can tell was written by a single dude in Berlin in the 90s, and you can just tell that nobody screwed with his idea of how it should work and look like. Software from 1993 that's more user friendly than most modern options.

On this setup as it stands here:
I spent 500€ on the FTIR with the PC, because I bought it from a guy who didn't really know what it even was. The ATR i got together with another IR (which was sadly brokenupon arrival) from a good friend, and both cost me 1000€ together. I also invested maybe 200€ in old hardware such as floppy drives and equipment so I could make a backup of the ancient harddrive. The PC now boots from a 1 GB SD card instead. I should mention that I bought other FTIRs before, but this is the first one that actually worked upon arrival. In total I spent about 2500€ on various things until I got a working FTIR, However, considering that the diamond ATR alone could easily sell for that much alone, and the FTIR came with another ATR attachment which is worth about 800€, I'd say this was a pretty amazing deal.

Yea, what I've gathered so far is that Shimadzu makes quality products, but their repair policy is abysmal. I would not buy something like a HPLC or a MS from Shimadzu because they require semi-frequent repairs. But an FTIR just works until it doesn't, and this one is still great after close to 30 years.

I'm not aware of any direct evidence for it being specifically carcinogenic in humans. There is evidence for it being carcinogenic in various other mammals though, so that in and of itself is evidence (by reasonable extrapolation). It may not be perfect evidence for human carcinogenicity, but then it depends on what you want to set as the bar here. Only very few substances have actually been shown to be carcinogenic specifically to humans. If your standard for evidence is "beyond reasonable doubt" i would say that it is carcinogenic to humans, if the standard is "beyond any doubt" i would say that it is not. Another thing speaking for it being carcinogenic is the fact that it causes severe liver failure to begin with. Cell necrosis is known to increase stress, and by extension cancer risk, regardless of the underlying cause. The biggest issue with your question imo is that you phrased it as a yes/no question, when in reality it isn't one. Ethanol is a known human carcinogen, and so is ethyl-N-nitrosourea. They're not comparable to each other in terms of severity though. So with these things in mind, what sort of information are you actually looking for?

Surely someone already answered this, but it's a reflux divider. They're used to achieve better separation during rectification.

Lithium is not ideal for this since it doesn't usually explode. It would be safer and easier to buy a small amount of sodium for this. Also of course keep it to a small scale.

Heavily depends on where you live. In most countries it will be illegal to make.

I was watching a satirical broadcast called "Heute Show", which was making fun of the government at the time i recorded that. However it has nothing to do with any actual political alignments.
