    I am in a research lab for the first time this semester and got told about ours, it's terrifying to me. My professor, while cheerfully rifling through our glassware in it told me that: Fun fact, eyes are basic and so getting this in your eye (by having it on your gloves and touching them, for example) will not hurt, but it will start dissolving it. I was mildly nervous the entire time since he was just wearing gloves and sticking like 3/4 of them inside, so he then told me that his mentor used to use his bare hands which he would definitely not do. We also do have heavy duty gloves for our base bath stored right above it.
    Great for cleaning glassware, though.

      Well the thing is is that it's especially bad to eyes and mucosa, but on your skin it's not that bad, if you rinse it under 5 seconds you will probably not even get a scar; when I got saturated NaOH solution (so pH around 13.5) on the skin it just started burning after a few seconds and then I rinsed it and no visible damage was left afterwards

      I think he uses base bath to exfoliate away the old skin revealing the baby smooth Nile underneath. If you search the Internet long enough, you might find photos of when he started out in the 1880's. But maybe the gold grills were to hide vampire fangs. It is always the adorably cute ones you least suspect that you have to watch out for.

    @gewuerzgurkeev 7 месяцев назад +4

    Base baths are quite useful, we usually use KOH and make it really concentrated up to the point where the iPrOH and Water (with KOH) no longer mix and form seperate layers. We then carefully add water until they mix again, that results in a really strong base bath. Just make sure to not leave your glassware in there for too long (we prefer at most 1-2 days, never over weekends) since that strong bases can attack the glassware and weaken it.
    for really resiliant residues we cook the glassware with aqua regia or piranha solution :D

    Is etching of the glass a concern with base baths? I was specifically instructed to only use soap, water and mechanical cleaning methods but as Nigel said, some stubborn organic residues barely losen up that way which is really annoying because it requires a bunch of labour to get that glassware clean again.

    • @evilplaguedoctor5158
      @evilplaguedoctor5158 7 месяцев назад +6

      so long you don't heat it up too much or leave it in for days on end there isn't really any concern.

    • @paulpease8254
      @paulpease8254 7 месяцев назад +17

      Etching would not really be a concern over reasonable amounts of time. We used to use this solution when doing single molecule fluorescence imaging, as many organic residues would cause a high background. When that didn’t work, we would use “piranha” solution, which was scary stuff (boiling hot sulfuric acid/hydrogen peroxide).

    • @rasmus1600
      @rasmus1600 7 месяцев назад +12

      Sodium hydroxide does attack glass on a small scale. In room temperature there's not any problems, for like a day or 2. It is when the glass is in contact with NaOH for longer periods of time OR when the NaOH solution is boiling! Really hot NaOH does quick damage to glass.

    • @phobos1963
      @phobos1963 7 месяцев назад +10

      The actual cinetic of the glass etching process using NaOH is very low, meaning it takes quite some days at room temperature, but it can be sped up if you heat the bath, which is actually used when you want to get rid of a small portion of the inside glass, for unreachable stuff, that won't dissolve in anything
