Abstract
In this short note, we prove a number of generalizations of the Voiculescu Double Commutant Theorem, in the case where the canonical ideal is stably finite.

Among other things, we have the following result:

Say that B is a stable Razak algebra, and say that A ⊆ M(B)/B is a separable simple nuclear unital C*-subalgebra. Then A'' = A.
