Then it seems there is a catch-22 situation: They can't detect native organics because of the MTBSTFA contamination, and they won't use the MTBSTFA until they detect native organics.
If the contamination is worsening with time, then maybe it should be jettisoned as soon as possible since it seems it won't be used for its intended purpose anyway? |
