Re: [DIYbio] What are some good, hydrophobic solvents I can LEGALLY buy?

As long as you don't want intact organelles, I think the high-pressure
methods would work

CO2 needs some more thinking, but it would certainly be the ideal
solvent for DIY applications if we could figure out where to get
"quick-connect" type connectors between those tanks Simon linked to,
or if the supercritical CO2 damages those tanks, finding other
tanks/vessels.

I mention container damage as that see-through supercritical CO2 tank
video Simon linked to had an associated video that showed the plastic
swelled significantly in the solvent chamber. I don't know how CO2
would affect those aluminum tanks.

Something like a soxhlet extractor might also be useful too, depending
on the project.
