I just found mine in my lunchbag :w00t: . At least it was better than having to walk back to the staffroom to look for them.

My one wish is to be able to buy glass tubing that I know will fit into the rubber tubing I've bought.
Same with bungs - knowing which size you need for the test tubes you're buying.

Or better yet, ready made sets! test tube, rubber stopper, rubber stopper with one hole and tube attached, rubber stopper with 2 holes and 2 tubes attached! Same with conical flasks :)

Smaller tubing from Westlab. Love their bunsen tubing but I need smaller for my side arm test tubes, and flasks.

Hello Rosalie, we recently launched a new plastic rack - WJH0362A https://www.westlab.com.au/laboratory-d ... slots-grey. We have had great feedback on it.

The pegs have an improved locking mechanism.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll add it to our product development board. Did you have a certain inner diameter you were after?

Smaller. As it is flexible it should be designable to fit most glassware in some cases supplied by westlab. My side arms are all different, but the last lot are really small.

Since our tubing is custom made, we would need a recommended size to see if it can be manufactured
