Re: RiskAssess chemical codes
Totally agree with you Merilyn1, we have a duty of care, if we know there is more up to date information than CSIS it should be used, who would blindly follow a document that is so out of date.....MariaQ

Re: Microbiology
It would be a huge thumbs down from me as well, and Id definitely report to your WHS....BUT if you have a teacher that insists on it, Id insist on a risk assessment that the parents, student and teacher all signed and possibly arrange for them to bring to school the finished product in a sealed bag ...

Heating Mantles
Hi Guys, just looking for recommendations for heating mantles. We have some ceramic type ones, they have been here longer than me, over ten years and when used constantly trip the power. From my understanding this is due to the ceramic absorbing moisture over time and then when plugged in for use ca...

Re: MTA products going downhill fast?
I am disappointed with the service at MTA. I have sent multiple emails to seek assistance to 3 different people (our assigned sales support person, technical person and general sales enquiry) over a period of a month and have as yet to hear from any of them. I will not be using MTA for any of our o...

Re: MTA products going downhill fast?
Find that some supplier overcharged on some wares. It pays to shop around with all suppliers and ask for a discount. I always do this, the issue here is that they have misrepresented with photos the item ordered compared to the item sent, and BTW Im still waiting for a reply to my email........ :oo...

Re: MTA products going downhill fast?
No same price! And they still haven't answered my email asking for a Reply Paid address to return them to. In fact I have had trouble with follow up with MTA with a previous issue. I've been buying all my glassware from Westlab for years, much better quality, but Westlab don't always have the more &...

Re: MTA products going downhill fast?
Thing is, I didn't think I was buying cheap, I was buying what I saw in the catalogue which matched my previous purchase. What they provided was different which is almost deception, how many people would just accept it and not complain about being sent a cheaper inferior product? Not good business p...

Re: MTA products going downhill fast?
Yes agree with the login! The waste of my time is what annoys me the most, and that I have to justify why I'm returning and why I shouldn't have to pay postage! Thing is the invoice hasn't been paid, and I wont pay for the other items until they sort this out. I stopped buying a lot of stuff from Se...

Re: Operation of Steam Sterilizer
Hi Guys, I just used the steam sterilizer I found in the back of the cupboard, after Westlab kindly sent me a manual as I didnt have one. I also am perplexed, but can only assume it's something to do with trying to "dry steam"??? I was worried that there would be no water left in the steri...
