Re: Buffer Tablets

Serrata sent up some instructions for the Buffer tablets - dissolve 1 per 30mLs distilled water (see attached sheet).

But there are no SDS available.

Re: Buffer Tablets

Ok, that's sorted!

The young man I talked to said that he'd just written instruction sheets for Buffer tablets recently, and will send them up, along with SDS for each.

Thanks again for your great advice girls =D>

Re: Buffer Tablets

Thanks, Lada - I did get them from Serrata. Think I'll get back to them right now and ask that they send an instruction sheet, and SDS and see what happens!

Re: Buffer Tablets

I have just bought some buffer tablets, but they didn't come with instructions.

How much water to dissolve each tablet?

Not listed in CSIS. Macca - where id you get information on classing them please?

Re: Flammable cupboards

Am pretty sure we were told after the refurb that chemicals are NOT to be stored in the compactus, but can't immediately find any official info to support that statement.

Re: storage of bromine water
