distilled water, lab grade ethanol, a couple drops of limonene, and there you go
Sadly the Erlenmeyer flask was previously used for some nasty water soluble compounds and just looks clean.
rinse -> acetic acid -> rinse -> Acqua regia-> Rinse -> Pirahna solution -> Rinse -> 500°C oven -> Rinse
I would then drink from it without even worrying
Is NileRed then too cautious when he only uses fresh breakers for stuff he is going to eat?
The cost of a fresh beaker is worth mitigating the risk.
That could be argued, but where does it stop? New stir bars? New thermometer probe every time?
he's lucky to have a big enough channel to be able to afford 40000$ NMR machines, so a couple beakers aren't that much of an expense for much more safety
but as a home chemist, there is NO WAY I'm getting new beakers every time I wanna do edible chem, especially pyrex branded ones like Nile does. Lab equipment, even basic glassware, is ridiculously overpriced
