Another update. The fridge idea didn't work either. Since I had two evaps of the same thing with the same amount of seeds used (80) on pyrex dishes, having spent one I had another to work with. I decided to put distilled water in the fridge to get it chilled but not cold. I didn't acidify it at all as I figured it could dissolve the cyanogenic glycoside impurities caked to the dish and added a small amount to the pan. I washed this back and forth for a time, filtered it (dampened the coffee filter with the same chilled distilled water used), and then filtered it the same way again. It looked nearly clear and there were visible solids left behind, which I assume is the toxins caked to the dish. The nearly clear liquid glowed blue (a bit more intensely than the previous 10 seed trials) under blacklight UV. Then I acidified with a small amount of citric acid powder and added a small amount of crushed and powderized vitamin C supplements (ascorbic acid). I understand that LSA citrate is unstable to oxidation, so if I keep it in distilled water solution with ascorbic acid which is an antioxidant and seal the glass container it should keep for a month or two easily if stored correctly. Pic related in the center two groups: the top center pic is the evap of the extract before and the bottom of the center pic is after the chilled water wash. The toxins seemed to have been left behind on the pan. Now a brave soul just needs to test it to see if nausea results or not...Looks the same as the 10 seed previous trials that had no nausea so it should be clear. Now to fix the other, I need to evap the Acetone extract again and repeat. Good God.
