Thank you a lot! This is probably the best information on extracting penicillin on the internet :)

Any time :) I have to take advantage of my library account at uni while I still can.
I'll have to give it a read some time, I liked the documentary on the guys who first extracted it, 'breaking the mould' I think it was.

I will check the documentary, looks interesting. I read the document and extraction seems relatively easy. Evaporation of acetone is maybe the hardest part (without damaging the penicillin).

Rename the file to .pdf

Penicillin is really interesting. Its amazing we can download a PDF saying how to do something that changed the world ~60 years ago.
