About the use of SpeedVac lyophilizer.
I am a biomedical Researcher. A SpeedVac is such a common staple equipment in any microbiology, immunology, molecular biology laboratory that I seriously doubt any research lab could function without one. Most labs have one or two, hardly evidence in itself.
Now: Ivins using a SpeedVac to concentrate highly lethal material such as weapons grade Anthrax without killing himself and every one else in the lab?. . .
That is another story.
