And I forgot to say that I'm not sure what your price would be. We are on Premier and I'm not sure if the price would be the same. We pay $65ish for 500 gm. j

"Cardinal"? Do you have a website for this company? I've been looking 
for a supplier of molecular sieve that doesn't charge outrageous 
prices.
I assume the numbers are the catalog number for the sieve -- is it 3 
- 4 Angstrom? The sieve pores must be that size to trap water 
molecules.
Thanks.
Phil
