[Nhcoll-l] Mettler vs. Anton

Hi all,

if I remember correctly, the main difference was the material (and 
chemical resistance) of the tube responsible for the measuring. Either 
the Anton or the Mettler has issues in the long run with keton denatured 
alcohols, so we decided to take the other for our collection (which was 
the Anton, if I remember correctly).

So it might be worth to compare the construction of the measuring 
device, to see if there could be any issues arising from measuring in 
the collection (might include also "historic" mixtures of holding fluids 
containing various chemical components or solvents).

Hope this helps
Dirk
