I work with chemistry stuff.... but not with LF (for now) I'd suggest using thin layer chromatografy tanks, they are galss, made to hold 1 or 2 4x5 and hold about 650-800 ml depending on the desing of them. Get 3 or 4 of these so to have one for each step. --- Nick Zentena <zentena@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Tuesday 26 April 2005 10:46, Justin F.
