14 May 2023 - Ebay
Our ebay shop, Eidolon-UK, has had its listings removed even though they were not showing up on searches, a form of shadow banning. They have not removed the nitrostyrene listings, so i would suggest chemists order this organic chemical as i will respond the same for reductive amination techniques as can be deduced from the molecule image for the listings.

Finally the reactors have output enough yield to produce stock,they have been trickling small amounts onto the online markets, now we have full yield from reactor #1 and will process reactor #2 next week.
The reactors that were rush built after December 2022 will be replaced as the income from them is generated, and once I have time I will be finishing a WordPress version of this site with online payment options.

¤ Have built an arduino based sensor array for the reactor area, it measures temperature with a pt100 RTD, humidity with a DHT21, and there's a pH electrode which has been calibrated with voltage readings at pH 7.00 and pH 4.01. Readings can be seen in real time via an OLED screen 128x64, though the plan is to code the sketch to make use of a GPRS shield to text or email the readings for the day composed of each sensors reading at a 30 minute interval.
¤ Putting up large grow tent to act as a dry/desiccation sealed room, with the aim of decreasing synthesis time. Also adding 1g of P2NP crystals to each reactor each week from the second week onwards to aid crystal formation.
01 Mar 2023 - News
The speed of the new reactors is not as optimised as the prior reactors, so online market listings of up to 250g have been put back from 04 March to 12:00, 08 March 2023, and listings of over 250g have been rescheduled to May 2023.

Royal Mail strike action dates - 24th, 25th, and 30th November, followed by 1st, 9th, 11th, 14th, 15th, 23rd and 24th December 2022.
The strike action will directly impact upon all economy and standard services for international orders, for those dates and the days after as there will be a back log to clear.
Express/Expedited International orders via FedEx or UPS will likely see a negative impact on their service speed as their workload increases from businesses moving from Royal Mail.
All UK national orders up to 250g are sent via the Hermes/Evri Tracked Postable service, either 2 to 3 working days or 1 working day service (the two tiers often do not reflect their names, only in the sense that a one day package will normally be delivered slightly earlier than the other service, effect on this service will be less than Royal Mail service, but it is likely this service will be slower than usual because their increased workload may exceed resources available.
17 Nov 2022 - Production
Dehumidifier worked so well, have upgraded to a small industrial electric dehumidifier with refrigerant, coverage area 10-20 m2, dehumidifcation capacity 10L/day.
Water tank volume is 2.2L but it also comes with a water pipe connection so it can run in continuously drainage mode, with the pipe exiting diagonally down through a back wall vent into a drain-pipe.

16 Aug 2022 - Research Expt PP: Day 32
Added 0.5g of P2NP crystals - immediately most of container crystallised.
Filtered crystals, returned filtrate to desiccator.
Rinsed crystals with 40ml ice cold IPA 99.95%, placed filtrate in fridge.
Rinsed crystals with 2 x 400ml of distilled water, to remove catalyst, allowed to dry by vacuum on buchner funnel.
Once all crops of crystals had been collected and dried, final weight was 380.5g minus 0.5g used for crystallisation.
P2NP = 2.55 mol rxn x 163.2 g/mol = 416.2 g
Final yield 380/416.2 = 91.3% Expt success.
18 Jul 2022- Research Expt PP: Day 2
Initial vacuum was gradual lost over last couple of days, so applied vacuum grease to the silicone sealing ring and applied 3 strong clamps at 120 degree angles.
Also replaces silica gel beads with newly arrived molecular sieves 3A.
16 Jul 2022 - Research Expt PP: Synthesis reactor material - PP: 2.55 mole test reaction to determine how synthesis affected by a reaction vessel composed of Polypropylene.
Reactor: 2L PP beaker
Reagents:
Nitroethane 182 ml x 1.0545 g/ml = 191.83 g / 75.1 g/mol = 2.55 mole
Benzaldehyde (excess) 1.1 x 2.55 mole = 2.81 mol x 106.1 g/mol = 298.14 g / 1.044 g/ml = 285.58 ml
n-butylamine 2.55 mol x 5% = 0.1275 mol x 73.1 g/mol = 9.32g / 0.74 g/ml = 12.6 ml
Initial volume = 480.2 ml
Expected 2.55 mol x 18g/mol = 45.9 ml of water to be released (assuming 1g/ml)
Desiccator: Kartell Volume 9.2L OD 250mm
Desiccant: silica beads non-indicating 2mm
Vaccum: 505 torr (guage: 10 inHg)
