FOCUS ON: APS FROZEN SYRINGES/CARTRIDGES APS' Pre-Mixed & Frozen Syringes or Cartridges can be stored in your freezer (-40°F or greater) and can simply be thawed before use. The process includes thoroughly blending two-component optic materials, degassing them to remove entrapped air and then refreezing the resin in a disposable syringe or cartridge. Benefits include longer shelf life with minimal user contact with materials.

A recent FinancialTimes.com article suggested that the price of oil will soon top $100/barrel in response to growing confidence in global economic recovery. However, experts warn that higher oil prices will actually stifle economic recovery. Will an increase in the price of crude ruin worldwide economic recovery?
Yes: 88.889% No: 11.111%
Comment of the Week
"People and businesses adjust according to the external forces affecting their bottom line. Using the price of oil is just an excuse. The price is always relative. It is higher today than, say, the '70s, yet we experienced growth."
