Re: [DIYbio] Rookie Lab Mistakes and Other Facts Not Found in Textbooks

Hmm, some of these aren't very helpful... for example, we have no idea
what this means or what the implications are:
"Condensed liquid oxygen or solid argon with liquid nitrogen. (A
mistake you only make once.)"

http://chem.chem.rochester.edu/~nvd/pages/rookie-mistakes.php?page=just_wow

Why is it a mistake you make only once, is it because you just got
faced with an explosion, or is it because you just got fired for
wasting too much reagent, or did you get fired for ruining the gas
condenser?
