Myself, I use sulphur sticks for tiny hard to find leaks http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulfur_sticks downside is you have to wear a gas mask when using them, and if there is a lot of ammonia in the air you just fog up the room with white smoke.

I use the paper on a roll, very handy as it does not get so dirty like the leaflets.
Product number is 90712

Now my turn:
Who knows where to find the glasses that you use for measuring oil and water from an Ammonia sample?
You know, the one that let ammonia evaparate and has a small lower end with measure marks.
I need Europe supply, possible Holland.

Sabroe used to sell them otherwise laboratory equipment supplies would have something as long as you know exactly what you want.
