Hi, pure ethanol is drinking alcohol (Everclear, moonshine) and is used in electron microscopy. To denature it you can add 100% isopropanol. Unless the distributer made a mistake, I am sure you were charged a pretty penny.

Someone dropped off a bunch of pure ethanol, they don't need it, I said I'd help dispose it... can't be used for processing can it? I seem to recall damaging some tissue many years ago when using ethanol... your thoughts? Maybe just clean cycles on the processors...
