[Histonet] Hydrometer

[Andrea Grantham]

Heather,
I measure the concentration of the alcohols on my stain line with a 
hydrometer. I just pour alcohol into a 250 ml cylinder (usually a little 
over the 250 line) and drop in the hydrometer and give it a twirl. The 
hydrometer came from Fisher, catalog # 11-590.
