Hey 69Ron....

Did swiy ever try this tek that swiy posted a while back?

SWIM has about an ounce of seeds left...and since this procedure is so simple (especially on a small scale)....swim might try it out. He'll adjust all the volumes, but this tek seems like it would work. So much less complicated too.

Just a note....what does swiy mean by "Saturated Sodium Carbonate"? Does swiy mean making a very concentrated solution of water and sodium carbonate....then doing a liquid-liquid extraction with MEK:Heptane? (SWIM might just use 10% ammonia then, and do liquid-liquid extraction) Or would it just be easier to do the wet-not-watery routine?

E.C.
