[Histonet] Cost of 10% NBF

[Rene J Buesa]

Regardless of any economic consideration, NBF should NEVER be prepared in the lab.
The exposure of the personnel is too high and dangerous and ought to prevail over costs savings.
Many, many years ago we also prepared our own NBF but abandoned that practice also many many years ago.
Buy the NBF that is prepared under better conditions that any you could try to reproduce in your lab.

I don't suppose that anyone out in HistoPersonLand has done a cost
comparison between making your own 10% NBF and purchasing a 50-gallon
drum of 10% NBF, perhaps?  I did this several years ago but my idea of
saving tech time/costs by buying the bulk was shot down because there
was someone here that did the making.  Now we're even more shorthanded
and I think it would be a better use of everyone's time to just buy the
darned stuff in bulk.  Any chances that someone's already done this?  If
you have, I'd appreciate your input and my everlasting gratitude
(brownies not included).
