Hi Anastasia

My general rule of thumb is 24 hours notice with a give and take attitude to urgent or sudden changes. But also the time taken to get a prac ready needs to be taken into consideration.

MSDS sheets

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know if Chemwatch has packages of MSDS sheets and if so how much? As printing all the Chemicals needed is a mammoth task.

Hi Wendy

Try your local hospital for Liquid Nitrogen or your local University if you have one in Tamworth. Either of these usually will let you have small amounts, either free or for a small charge.
