I typically hear isopropyl alcohol referred to as IPA.

And Chemy: this is in reference to a work environment, in a neuroscience lab. Not in lab classes. Abbreviations are fairly common in our lab. They use tetrodotoxin citrate somewhat frequently for experiments. Who wants to say all that garbage when they can just say TTX?

Nah, usually when I'm in the lab we just use the abbreviations.

"Hey I need you to get me 5 mils of MtOH and 2 mils of 30% H2O2."

Why say methanol or hydrogen peroxide when you can just say letters and it means the same thing?




I use the letters all the time when discussing rocks.  I'll almost always say "S-I Rich" instead of silicate or "C-A-C" for Calcium Carbonate.

I never thought of that particular IPA abbreviation.  If you asked me for an IPA, I'd bring you back a pint of beer.  :lol:

Bump for irritating chem partners....

Genchem and oChem were pretty silly.


For Genchem it was cool cuz the people were all nice and everything...

But Ochem I'd get these premed guys that were all out to prove they were the best at refluxing or someshit and would always be a pain.


Like when we'd have a solvent for reflux or wash, they'd get pissed when the manual said "wash with 10ml 1M NACO3" and I'd bring back 9.8 ml or something....

They couldn't really see the forest for the trees, and were annoying, but I got better grades then them so its all cool
