"Absolute" is 99.99998% pure - and to buy it in the UK for laboratory purposes means the University also has to pay duty to HM Customs + Excise (simply because it can be drunk - but only by the really desperate!!).Cheers,Paulhttp://www.strontiumdog.plus.com/sbird.jpgwww.BAVirtual.co.uk[p]Officially licenced by British Airways plc for use of name and logo[/p]

It's about 98% pure, as it's 'denatured' with a sulphur compound specifically to make it undrinkable and thus not under the purview of the "revenuers".The only contaiminants it's guaranteed not to contain are lead and phosphorus.Richard
