Regarding the stockroom, thanks for the suggestion.  I presumed EDTA
would be a bit esoteric for college labs to have around, but maybe not.

Regarding the nit-pick... It *was* a nit-pick, but well-taken.  As a
non-chemist, I find it hard to read those words all run together.  Guess
that's why I could never get better than a C in German!  :)

Interesting that your reply got cross-posted to our luc.science group.
I was told this was well-hidden behind the fire-wall.  Cross-posts must
be exempt.
