We discovered a process with the CAT MCS78 Hotplate Stirrer for removing residual Ethanol from BHO, C02 oil ,after winterization...... http://www.catscientific.com/purge-ethanol-cannabis-oil-using-cat-mcs78-hotplate-stirrer/
In the market for an "affordable" but similar hotplate/ stirrer. Any one recommend anything? Corning, benchmark scientific, thomas, etc? For home use.. Any help will greatly help! Thanks.
Welcome I look forward to your added expertise.
Nice to have you aboard, Dr. Kate. Now, can you answer me a question? I am a gold miner and play around assay. I was doing an assay at the same time I was using methylalcohol as a solvent. When I went to heat it off, I found that it was water soluble. Red in color, and I think waxes are dropping at room temperature. There was HCl, sulfuric and nitric acids just around it; just within a couple feet of it. be Have I stumbled onto something, maybe? Thanks a lot, Ron (toodawgsron@gmail.com)
Just what we need - welcome on board!
I've had the pleasure of working with Dr.Kate recently and believe she will be a welcomed asset to your team.
Welcome Kate!
nice rig... hey mainah live in washington county, anywhere near?
I was going to ask a very similar question to Mainah in the last post: When doing QWET and QWISO extractions, and given the choice, would you now use the stirring hotplate for the finish and decarboxylation or would you continue to use the fondue pot? Thanks!
Neat :D
Very cool! Thanks
So, will you be using this new toy for extractions, decarboxylation, etc?
We continue to wring it out trying different things.
Well... I am using a digital HotPlate/stirrer to get 100% THCA to THC and 0.6% THC to CBN. i put a stainless steel cup on the hot plate (NOT GALSS), temp of plate is 140 c, the stirrer is on 300-400 spins/second. i DO NOT use the external probe! it can heat up the plate to very high temps in the beginning (at least in my plate which is a different brand the yours... and cheaper) . i use an external digital thermometer just to keep the temp of the oil known... but it is not scenery if you put the plate on 140 c . the decarboxilation will be very very violent and when it ends the bubbles STOP Immediately.. it is very easy and cant be missed.
what 100% thc-a????? impossible
