Wow!! All I can say is your distilled water is one helluva lot better than mine; The day I get a batch that only registers 0.001mA is the day I go buy out the store and transfer it all to pyrex at home, and yes I do have a good meter that can measure down to 1uA + or - (0.2% +3 digits). Oh, Sigh, and here I thought 0.1 mA was good. As a matter of fact, I've not been able to add anything like 1/4 the volume from a previous batch of CS and hold the initial reading below about 0.4 mA, max voltage about 33vdc before current limiting sets in. Comment??
