New Batch of Dayan Coated GTS 2 M is out!

Back when I was doing my PhD in chemistry, my adviser gave a lecture about how a few angstroms of distance in a protein could mean the literal difference between life and death.

It was humbling and profound that such a tiny Angstrom could make such a huge difference, so I named my store after that memory in honour of my adviser, whom I deeply respect.

Thus, Angstrom Research.


Also, I tell you all about the boron treatment secrets you've been asking me about, because with Polymer and Dayan coating, it's obsolete now.
Basically, it's the 1979 Nobel Prize in chemistry, the hydroboration-oxidation reaction. It was too inconsistent and unreliable, so that's why I stopped experimenting with it, and instead invented polymer coatings.

I used a 65:35 ratio of Methanol and THF so that it won't melt the cube instantly, so you can submerge until the reaction is complete.

For my lewis acid catalyst, I used Aluminum Chloride Hexahydrate, and for the boron agent, I used Sodium Borohydride in excess.

For the workup, I used 70% hydrogen peroxide, and NaOH as a base.

Be careful kids, this is basically a chemistry lecture, not a tutorial.
Don't actually do any of this.
Strong base will saponify your skin, THF can be explosive, borohydride releases explosive hydrogen, concentrated peroxide creates gnarly chemical burns, so just be careful when you play with chemicals.

Before you play with chemicals, you need to educate yourself FULLY.
