    Chromate is a relatively strong oxidizer, so it might react with the basins if given enough time and/or some energy. My guess is that it shouldn't be something you'll need to worry about too much.To more directly answer your question, I would think that chromate could react with stainless steel if you wanted it to, meaning you set up the conditions right. The term 'plastic' can mean all sorts of things, so I can't directly address that question. It would react with some plastics, it may not react with others.If it is a concern, I would recommend non-reactive glass. It's my hunch that it shouldn't make a difference for what you are wanting to do, but I don't know the details.

  • Re: Best, up-to-date chemist handbook/lab techniques manual?

    Updated: 2012-05-31 17:21:28
    I am still looking for general, practical texts for the laboratory. Thus far I have come up with the following potentials:1. Chemist's/Chemical Technicians Ready Reference Handbooks2. Zubrick's Organic Chem Lab Survival Manual (designed for lab students, but excellent resource nonetheless for procedures and tips)3. Purification of Laboratory Chemicals (not just for purifying reagents, but as a resource for general purification, isolation, and information on potential sources of contamination).Still looking for more! Please add. Thanks!

  • Re: trimethylsilyldiazomethane no longer available. Why?

    Updated: 2012-05-31 15:38:21
    Hi Mitch. Yeah, I remember that whole mess. I tried hunting around online for some sort of notice but got nothing. I am an academic in Canada and we can't even get diazald here anymore. I have a glassware kit for it but I guess I may have to make my own. The issue that arises from that is that you use methylamine. Breaking Bad flashbacks, anyone? Yeah, good luck getting that. You can buy small amounts of the hydrochloride but then you have to free base it in situ. Fun fun fun.

  • Kansas tries harder to drown the beast.

    Updated: 2012-05-28 22:54:30
    I know there are a lot of smart people in Kansas. It’s just that they tend not to end up in elective office there. The latest examples of Kansas-being-Kansas are staggering. Take for example the matter of Gov. Brownback’s massive tax cut on business profits.  From what I understand by reading news material from the corporate controlled [...]
