    Aqua regia isn’t even that scary. Try pipetting pure bromine while it shoots itself out from constantly evaporating

      Aqua regia ain’t no piranha, and also ain’t the most concerning thing in my post lol.

      Ah bromine. Super dense, low MW, and low bp, all making dosing accurate amounts a heroic feat. If you store your bromine cold, you can precool the pipette by sucking up and spitting out a few times before transfering, which helps cut down the vapor.
