I should have been more specific about the slurry - I mix enough T5 in 300mL of ethanol to make only a ~1/4” cake once the 300ml of ethanol has been pulled through. Is that too much for making the cake?
Also, is a #1 whatman paper enough for keeping out AC/T5? I thought I read somewhere around here a 2.5 micron paper would work but it seemed to still make it past that.
Is Celite not necessary for filtering out AC/T5? After my latest troubles, I had figured it was necessary, but the tek I read here said something along the lines of-
Continuing to pour ethanol over the AC/T5 cake and filter paper below it until you no longer see sediment in the flask.
What is the case with that? Do I need Celite? If I do, would I need to keep filtering my extract over Celite multiple times to assure that there’s no leftover Celite in my extract solution?
I appreciate your answer!
