MERCURY AMPOULES

THOMASNY2051 - 14-8-2012 at 09:21

Looking for Mercury Ampoules, 3.5 ampoule, which are sealed at both ends. If any cover glass is should be argon.
Can someone help me find a supplier for the Mercury filled ampoules? Thanks

would you be willing to make one yourself?
you could: break open thermometers, buy mercury metal (non-ampule), buy mercuric oxide and convert to mercury,...
and seal it inside a test tube. you shouldn't need argon since mercury is a very noble metal
