MARS is working on their next Frag Swap. I wanted to know if BAR would mind sharing the source or recipes for the Calibration fluids and Iodine they provided in their Frag Swap goody bags. I'd like to provide the same goodies to each participant in our swap. I hope you don't mind the copying. But that is what happens when BAR is the best club around. Others try to emulate.

Thanks.

Also, where were the containers purchased for these fluids?

No prob. I'll get some info up on here.

You'll need a volumetric flask and an analytic balance for the standards.

The iodine is 10% povidone. I've been getting it through various medical supply vendors on Amazon.

Bottles came from TAP plastics.

[/quote]That sounds expensive. It sounds like creating the calibration solutions may be beyond the capabilities of an average reefer (me).

Thanks Norm!
