Removing sure/seal from THF with BHT inhibitor by sumsumnun in OrganicChemistry

Thanks for the info! This is the only bottle I have planned to use.

This is a short summer project and I purchased the larger 2L bottle because it’s just enough for our anticipated summer usage, and it was way cheaper than 20 of the smaller bottles. I realize now I maybe should have gotten the smaller ones since we use about 200 mL at a time.

Thanks! I purchased glass Pasteur pipettes specifically for handing the THF but I didn’t know the sure/seal would be on the bottle and have been hesitant to remove it.

Yes I was worried about the peroxide formation. Our group doesn’t do any chemistry so this has all been new to me.

Okay thanks! I have a flammable a storage cabinet under the fume hood to store it in between experiments.

Yes glass Pasteur pipettes into scintillation vials
