As things heat up::: well I thoughI would use a battery D size (out of a working flash light) and use some telephone wire and make little copper electrodes out of some copper sheeting and then glue then to the poles and do the + - molecule pull through alumium oxide. ( now I haven't mentioned that all along I do have some good chromatography medium on glass that I had been trying out on the side.) Does some cool things in a fairly consistent organic solvent like methylene chloride ( which I was out of ) DMSO is really fun but can be tricky and dangerous ...... and the substance I eventually was going to chromatograph could have held some hallucinogenic substances so I was not taking chances on that stuff passing through my skin in unknown quantities ... especially considering I have never done any hallucinogen in my life short of mild old THC in leaf...) Instie way... I also had some cool dyes of unknown concentration or affinity that I was going to play with and I thought these might give me some clues to the organics in this old extract I had done. I had done the extract from about 40.oo$ worth of salvia divinorum leaves... ( all gone now so don't ask) Believe me so much more comes out of an extract than the desired chemical... of this I am certain and of course this is well know or why would people be running chromatographs on solutions in the first place....... but I digress. I tried 3 differnent processes ( none really finished yet....I think) !. I tried the elecrodes at the bottom and top of a test tube filled with alumium oxide as medium and ran the extract with some luminol ( I need a black light) and some fuchine of some kind from merck dated about 1955. lol I thought I would wait until the organic and water diluted dye enhanced liquid hit the bottom electrode to see what the full effect might be like. I don't think however it was intended to be done this way for more than 1 reason. One :: I think the copper electrodes in solution began to react slightly with the aluminum oxide releasing some gasses that left gas discontinuities in the coloration lines. Also I think that aluminum oxide at that mesh is best to run in capillary tube chromatography not electrophoresis...... a metal compound medium..... don't laugh too hard you will shit your pants...!! I think the best results are eventually going to come from the chromatographic latex polymer on glass absorptions. although Ithink to much of the dye is apparent and is over exposing and occluding much of the ideosyncratic lines of molecular ID particulars. I also used a fine mesh filter covered with 3A quality fine mesh beads to simply strain the extract to see if some of the organics are not more than proteinations globs denatured and hanging in solution and of no use. there is about a 6 to 8 ounces of this extract left in the solution as Ihave it diluted and there is still a noticible green brown deep coloration to it that hasn't settled out now, and Ihave had this stuff sitting aroung for nearly 3 months, so its not gonna settle out anymore.
