Kaistar R&D (16)

Kaistar R&D is a company that specializes in extremely high purity metals and alloys, which they make to order in their unique high-vacuum e-beam furnace. If you are a researcher in need of that kind of thing, give them a call. If you are an element collector looking for small buttons of pure metals, you're in luck: They have a collector's division. Click on the "Krdnet Supplies" tab on their website to see their current element offerings, or check out their eBay store. I visited the company in the summer of 2004 with Oliver Sacks and wrote up a story about it, which includes photographs of the incredible furnace used to produce most of the samples they sell.
