(I'm one), a grad student in Analytical (who hasn't had time to forget it

BD100. BD is an ester and viton seals should work fine. That being said,
there are all sorts of viton alloys and some will work better than
others. Seal compatiblity is a big deal in the chemical and petroleum

You can buy one at Brookstone. What is your uncle's source of the cost?
