Help!? Need a bit of Bromine

[Mercury]

Tsuyoshi Ito of Project Basho in Philadelphia USA is hosting Takashi Arai at a Dag workshop this weekend. Read about it on CDags.

They need a bit of bromine (Arai works with Bromine Water) and will drive a reasonable distance from Philadelphia to get it. Is there somebody that can help?

Either reply through me or contact Tsuyoshi Ito at Project Basho directly… is there a link in the “Events” section? Phone number is 215 238 0928.

I was contacted through a connection at the Library Company, but wayyyyyy out here on the Left Coast I can’t be of any direct help.

THANKS for reading,

Ken,

Mallinckrodt Baker sells bromine and they are located an hour and a half north of Phily in Phillipsburg, NJ. One liter is $49.85. Not sure if it is stocked at that location so calling ahead is vital. Also, chemical companies (as you know) will not sell directly to individuals. You must be a company or an educational institution to purchase from them.

Here’s a link to their contact page:

http://www.mallbaker.com/contact/

There’s a search field in the upper right hand corner of the page, and if you change the default to “Products” instead of “Site” and then search for bromine, you will find it.

I don’t use bromine water, but isn’t it also feasible to find some at a swimming pool supply store? It won’t be reagent grade (the farthest thing from it probably) but it might also work. And anyone can buy pool supplies.

Cheers,

Thanks Rob, Malinkrodt is being very cooperative, doing everything they can to get the bromine water to Project Basho in time.

CDags works! That’s all, folks. I think we can close this thread.
