Hi List, I've been out of touch for a while. Sorry. I'm a banker and have a loan that is requiring some heavy duty attention <grimace>. I've followed up with my contact regarding the lab that would do a microbial challenge test (now affectionately known as an MCT on this list), but I don't have any new information yet.
I do think that we need to define a standard sample to be tested and am pleased with what I've been reading about progress on this front. So far, I'm up to July 20th messages, so obviously I'm still a week behind. The group moves so fast that I don't know what I'm missing at the moment. I'm wondering if it might be possible for some of us to get together to work on CS. We could compare our devices and share ideas. Most of all, we could simultaneously make a bunch of batches at the same time with similar conditions (same distilled water, etc.) and compare our results. It is simply a logistical question regarding physical location. I live in Wilton, CT (south west corner of CT) and work in New York City. Also, while I'm behind on my e-mail, I haven't seen a source for pure silver wire. Marsha, I know you gave me one once, could you post that again? I think it was for .999 fine. I would also like to go for the .9999 fine. Bob Wells
