I'm all ready to perform this but with ethanol only and only on raws with high melting points.
Could probably bake the raws at a high temp to ensure ethanol evaporates while leaving the raws intact..still waiting for my TNE raws to arrive..
Hexane does seem to have a low evaporating temp pt but I'm not so sure how comfortable I am with using it..
Yeah I dont see why not, test base has such a high melting point that you should be fine. I would let it air dry with moving air to get the bulk ethanol off it first. Don't want to make an explosive environment in your oven. I know ethanol vapors aren't good for you but compared to the other solvents its wayyyyyy easier to handle. Sometime you just catch a slight sweet scent of grapes and thats about it lol
I just picked up this bad boy, just slide it under the vacuum chamber pot and I'll be able to hold a rock solid temperature during drying +- 1C. Due to the latent heat of vaporization, those raws get super cold as the solvent evaporates and it slows down the process significantly

I think enanthate is the easiest ester to do if I'm correct I only briefly looked into it.

I bought a vacuum oven on ebay used really cheap. Though a good pump for this application that has solvent filters and cold traps can get expensive

This vacuum desicator was cheap on alibaba .you can use way lower heat under vacuum and make a mixed bed of desicant and activated charcoal to absorb moisture and chemicals.

Surprisingly enough the few chemicals it takes are fairly inexpensive and easy to source. Dean Stark trap is like $150 but I guess you can do it also with 4a mole sieves to absorb the water but there's really no way of telling when the reaction is completely finished that way
, this was my poor man's way of basically a vacuum oven lol.
Basically this vacuum pot on top of a PID hotplate lol
Nice setup btw!!

Those work really well for a lot of applications. I have 1 very similar I used to use for rosin extraction from Canibus.
Yeah I'm very happy with it luckily I already had the vacuum pump. I bought a lab wash bottle to repurpose as a cold trap but im not sure how well that will work. Maybe pack it some 13x mole sieves or something. Tired of changing vacuum pump oil everyday lol. Ethanol isent too bad but heptane turns that shit into a mess!

Ebay is loaded with used lab equipment at a fraction of the price. I just picked up a metlor toledo PH/ION meter for 200 bucks with the inpro probe and a milipore equinox sterility testing Peristaltic pump for 600 bucks.

US solid has some good lab vacuum pumps with filters and all for way under normal price and they have really good stuff I have their moisture analyzer and mini centrifuge very good budget line.

I have some old test ace and base thats been sitting for years and was gonna toss it. You have inspired some experiments in the lab will report results.I will add MP and UV VIS absorbance pre and post
My man! Keep us posted! If you find some new tricks, please let us know
Hey everyone,
I’ve gotten a few messages asking how to support the testing and consumables for the work I’m doing here. No obligation at all—I’ll keep posting updates, sharing results, and helping out either way. That said, if you’d like to chip in, it’ll definitely speed things up (especially with the cost of purity assays and GCMS on all the before/after samples from each technique).

I might have missed it. Are you filtering the solvents and distilled or DI water your using to minimize bioburden in the finished product
So for water, I strictly use this usp grade endotoxin free sterile water. Pretty cheap. And I hot filter all the solvents when the raws are mixed in with a 1micon glass pad and a 0.1 micron ptfe filter underneath.

Also I clean all glass afterwards with liquinox and a foam brush, then rinse with 99.9% IPA. Non-liquid raws make a mess, especially ones with a high melting point. The IPA does a great job at stripping that off. Some times I could also boil the glass with liquinox if it was really stubborn.
