Australia's Science Forum

I too, am looking at dishwashers. Considered the Westlab one, but appears too small and fiddly. I had a second hand domestic one for 10 years and am looking at purchasing a new domestic one. Not sure what do do, but would love a dishwasher as hand washing sucks!!

WH&S told me I had to have a sign on chem store door. Like you Labbie, we did not want to bring it to the students' attention.

I could not go either; 9 hour drive or plane trip (3 hour drive to catch plane)! Online course would be great!!

Ian, we don't allow our junior classes to use MnO2.

Never had to make it but found this recipe on file:-
A few drops of dilute NaOH is added to aqueous AgNO3. Aqueous ammonia is added until all of the brown silver (I) oxide is dissolved. At this point mixture will be clear.
Hope this helps tuesday

Chemwatch stresses me to the max! I also have a chemical register on a spreadsheet & find it so much easier. Bring on riskassess labels!!

We have had air conditioning in our 6 labs & one Prep room for about 6 years. Couldn't survive without it, 'specially this last week! How have you coped?!!

I also order stationary, etc from OfficeMax same as sunray. Cost is several hundred dollars out of science funds!

I still haven't received any alerts; heard about it from this great forum!

Lucky you-the new gold ffx really sucks, wish I was still on the old one!!

Trying to source 'decent' magnets for general use. Have good neodymium magnets for seniors. Thinking buying Alnico, 75mm, strong (they say) from Haines. Any thoughts from you wonderful lot!

Ooooooh...I soooooooo........dislike the chemwatch program!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay!! Am struggling with FFX, hope the new one meets our requirements. Do we have to subscribe to Risk Assess. to access the labels?

They are not listening - this program does not work for schools (& labbies)!!!!

This program is soooo..time consuming and FRUSTRATING!!!

I hear you all! Find it all time consuming and sooooo...FRUSTRATING.

I hear you, rae!

This new program hard to use and VERY time consuming-bring back chemgold3! Am very frustrated and have given up, am handwriting labels. Who else can we complain to?

Thanks so much for your help, am getting there, but finding it hard and very time consuming messing around with labels but am learning from you guys!!

I'm from NSW Dec School and cannot work out Chem FFX - can't even get started! Manual confusing (or is it me)?! The old Chemwatch was so much simpler, especially for generating labels which I need to do, but have no clue. Are there others with the same problems?
