Now I'm confused.  I went to the site...  http://www.unitednuclear.com/chem.htm 

They list "2 ounce vial: $25.00" and I was assuming that was the weight 
ounces, not fluid ounces.  They list some things in grams, some in ounces 
and some in fl oz.

If the bottle weighgs 2 ounces, that is about 4ml of mercury which is far 
less than 2 fluid ounces.  I guess I should write them and find out.

Paul, do you have a URL for the $1/ml quote?  Thanks!
