Hi Kathy, can you please tell me how to make a peppercorn solution and how to use it. It sounds like a better alternative to agar plates.

Thanks

Hi everyone, can i ask a question? When people say they have had an audit is that audit done by the dept or worksafe or the NSW equivelent.
Here audits involving risk assessments or msds are done by worksafe, the dept is not involved at all

Hi you could try southern biological. Their website is http://www.southernbiological.com

We run a robotics subject. The kids use lego robotics and lego technics kits.
The idea is to build a robotic car or dancing robot. We have a few pieces go missing but overall the kids are reasonable with them because the more they lose the less their robot works

i have been a lab tech for approx 25yrs, 3 different states. I have worked at a uni, catholic school and govt or public schools so guess i love this job
Narelle

I think part of the problem is the difference between state requirements and overal australian requirements. In Victoria we have been told we must have RA's for all experiments plus anthing i make up. These must be signed off by the teacher before a class.

Thanks Bernie Thats the sort of request it was. We will try it wednesday
