Re: Stocktake program

I worked from an excell spread sheet prior to getting this program. They are fantastic for a lot of things, but what I really like about Sci-List is the little extra things like having a photographic inventory of equipment. I have given my teachers limited access to the program so that they can sear...

Re: Harvesting skin cells

Hi there- some of us are still here... :thumbup: Don't know what the regs are in Tassie but here in WA all human tissue is banned- so I would take that to mean skin cells as well. Just a thought- maybe skin scrape the skin on a chicken wing or leg from the butchers and make smears from this.

Re: DNA necklace kit

Carolina Biological Supply Company make these so I guess you could ask Southern Biological to get them for you. Are you allowed to use cheek cells in your state? We are not permitted to use any human material here. Strawberry or kiwi fruit DNA around your neck?

Arch wires can be bought on ebay- although their memory is set in the arch shape, they can still have the...
