Storing collected resin, whether from plants or as a byproduct of cannabis, requires attention to temperature, light, and air exposure to maintain its potency and prevent degradation. An airtight, light-proof container, such as a glass jar with a tight-sealing lid, is ideal to minimize air exchange and protect against UV light. Ideally, store your resin in a cool, dark place like a cupboard or a drawer to avoid heat, which can melt or degrade the resin. For long-term storage, some even recommend refrigeration, though it's crucial to avoid condensation within the container, which could introduce moisture and lead to mold or mildew. Regardless of the storage method, ensure the resin is fully cured or dried before storing to prevent any degradation.

To prepare an amino acid solution, accurately weigh the desired amount of the amino acid. For solubility, adjust the pH of distilled water using HCl or NaOH, depending on the nature of the amino acid (acidic, basic, or neutral). Start with a lower concentration (e.g., 0.1 M) to ensure it dissolves completely. Amino acids may require different pH levels for optimal solubility. After adding the amino acid, stir the solution until completely dissolved. If necessary, adjust the final pH according to your experimental needs. It's important to filter sterilize the solution if it will be used in biological experiments to avoid contamination. Store the prepared solution at appropriate conditions, often refrigerated, to prevent degradation.

C900 PVC, also known as Polyvinyl Chloride, is a type of plastic material designed specifically for pressure applications such as potable water distribution systems. This material is part of the American Water Works Association (AWWA) C900 standard, which sets the criteria for PVC piping used in water supply systems. C900 PVC pipes are typically available in diameters ranging from 2 inches to 24 inches and can withstand pressures up to 300 pounds per square inch (PSI). They offer significant advantages over traditional materials like cast iron and concrete due to their lightweight nature, ease of installation, and corrosion resistance. These pipes are also cost-effective and have a long lifespan, making them a popular choice for various applications, especially in municipal water systems. However, proper handling and installation practices must be followed to ensure the integrity and longevity of these pipes.
