The authors reply to Rae.

We are pleased to have the letter by Ian Rae published. We are proud that we were able to eliminate the use of the traditional carcinogenic solvent carbon tetrachloride by replacing it with the use of petroleum spirits. This “green chemistry” approach is an important example of what can be achieved. As Rae points out in his letter, it is important to emphasize to the academic community that the restricted use of carbon tetrachloride due to its depleting effects to the stratospheric ozone layer warrants the effort to find substitutes.
