[labnetwork] H2SO4 and HF Delivery and Acceptance

[Kathy Anderson]

Hello Lab Network,

What is your lab's strategy to minimize the occurrence rate of receiving incoming boxes of H2SO4 or HF bottles with chemical contaminating the inside of the box and/or the outside of the bottles?

Do you have a preferred vendor or vendors you avoid for this reason?  We are experiencing this phenomenon sporadically from multiple vendors.  Some respond by wrapping their bottles or the rims of bottles before shipping for a time, but not indefinitely, and some are only willing to replace.
