Stuff found while sorting through old stuff in a 4C fridge:
a bottle of ethyl diazoacetate that is definitely orange rather than yellow (being stored with the biology chemicals)
a Fisher bottle of trichloroacetic acid that is a liquid at 4C
at least 3 different bottles of iodoacetamide
inventory tags for 4 bottles of acrylamide, but no bottles of acrylamide
5 bottles of lab strength H2O2 (30-35%), none of which are in the inventory (there is one in the inventory, but I can't find a bottle with that inventory tag, and the inventory claims it is being stored at RT)
at least 5 bottles of TMEDA (inventory says we have 6 in here, and at least one of these doesn't have a tag...)
10 bottles of phenol-chloroform in various formulations (none of these are in the inventory)
4 bottles of TRIzol (only 1 in inventory) despite the fact I know I threw away a bunch 2.5 years ago during the first lab move/condensing
Anyone else having a "fun" start to the week?
