"Reagent" is a generic term for chemicals that have been processed to
particular specifications and are guaranteed to have no more than certain
quantities of impurities. You can get reagent grade denatured alcohol for
instance. I think what most folks mean when they say reagent grade alcohol
is 200 proof ethanol alcohol. This will cost you a fair dollar because it is
what you use to make booze and has a huge tax placed on it by the goverment.
We have no clue if this is used in our LBC's, just wanted to get the
terminology sorted out.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. I recall reagent grade as being pure and
denatured alcohol as having water added to it. >>
