Hi there all,

We store 20L at a time of AA, 95% and xylene within the lab in 
xplosafe containers.  These are filled from 200L drums in our 
dangerous goods store by the orderlies.  It appears as if they may 
have interposed the 95% for AA and vice versa at last filling (milky 
xylene when dehydrating).  Does anyone know of a quick, 
conclusive test to tell which is which?

Thanks in advance,
Aidan Schurr, New Zealand.
