[Lab] gel cell

[Paul & Andrea Mumby]

Sure Active is expensive, but it's local. You can source them far cheaper
online, but then with SLAs shipping is expensive because of weight and
sometimes "special consideration" because it's a dangerous chemical.

Also convenience/leadtime.

Anyway, I could likely find several online suppliers, but Darcy had
specifically asked for a local source.
