Dear All,
We need to ship small amounts (< 100ul, [ ] < 5mM) of heavy atom (HA)
solutions to a synchrotron for onsite HA soaking. Fedex is able to do so
but is asking for the corresponding UN numbers. All the HAs are from
Hampton Research kit. We have found the UN number for three HA but we
cannot find for the other 3. Does anyone has experience in shipping
these compounds or knows where we could get these numbers for:
ethyl mercuric phosphate (EMP) - C2H5HgO)HPO2
potassium tetranitroplatinate - K2Pt(NO2)4
potassium tetracyanoplatinate - K2Pt(CN)4
We are thinking in leaving EMP out but to ship the above platinum HAs
with the same UN number as K2PtCl4 (UN 3288.61 toxic solid, inorganic).
any comment would be extremely useful,
Thanks in advance,
David
