Hey Guys,
If anyone knows of any Melbourne schools looking for lab techs let me know. I'm looking to move down there.
Thanks,

Wow That's Amazing Feedback...Thank You Merilyn, Smiley and Dave. We have booked in Scientrific to come down and do a demo for the teachers at the school. I will be there as well on that day. Soo Excited. Thanks So Much...

Has anyone recently ordered any of the new data loggers for their schools? I am looking at Serrata, West Lab and Scientrific at the moment. If you have been using them, can you please send me some feedback? They cost a lot of money, so it would be good to know first hand which one would be worth to ...

I did =D Really looking forward to it.. will be my first time too. See you all there!!!!

The experiment didn't work last time so I plan on sterilizing everything including rubber stoppers and glass tubing before they are used again. The standard washing of the tubing and stoppers obvio...

I am going to sterilize them in the pressure cooker at 121 degrees for the usual 15-20min time frame. I just wanted to double check and see if they will be safe ...

Thanks guys.

Hey Labbies,

I was just wondering if you guys get your microscopes serviced regularly, like once a year type deal, just to make sure everything is working okay. I'm working in a school, and they've asked me about it. Which companies do you use? We are located in Nowra, NSW.

Cheers,

Hello All, Looking to replace our Thermoline Waterbath because the heating element has stopped working :cry2: I was thinking of getting another Thermoline but I was wondering if anyone has any other suggestions, as to other brands that they have tried and are happy with. I'm willing to give other br...
