Something for people to consider, we have a wall mounted Diphoterine® kit in our Chem Prep room. We do use high concs of some chemicals so it is a must. Expensive...but not as much as what an eye would cost. Can purchase at most lab suppliers. food for thought https://www.prevor.com/app/uploads/site...

Adding to my previous question. The vacuum pump has possibly overheated and doesn't turn on anymore. The fresh oil I had just put in has drained out opaque instead of clear. Any thoughts on what could have caused this? Should I add it to the list of repair jobs (external) or try to buy a new one? I...

We have the pumps sold by Westlab https://www.westlab.com.au/equipment/eq ... head-gauge they do the job for what students need and easy to maintain

We are are also a one time use here

Thanks all

If you get a reaction and change with the more dilute solution...I'd just put it out and not say anything to the teachers in future. If anyone gets agro...just plead the safety line :) Ha - they don't get agro, more just disappointed - kind of like if I'd told them the college has banned cake. :? :...

I know.... !! On a side note I did purchase 2 green tree frogs and 2 white lipped frogs this week (Alive ). They are so gorgeous.

We evaporate off us much as we can then out for DG waste... it's a pain and costs but we are short on space so need to keep our DG store clear. Rather pay a few dollars and have our Chem store safe and clutter free.

@Marama T, you could make a fortune...these are selling for ~$14

^^ ta, have some on order

Thanks...searched there, unsure why I couldn't find them Thanks to the brains trust

I know...I am not a fan but teachers are

Hi all, I did a quick search of the forum and couldn't come up with anything...so where do you all get your cane toads from for dissection. We have a supplier, but looking for an alternate choice.

Just thought I'd add to this as we had the issue last year. VIC Gov schools okay with Chemwatch however as your NSW, maybe check their website. From the Department of education.

Hi all, it was my understanding that if you can't find an up to date SDS for them they should probably go. If I can't find a Manufacturers SDS I use the Chewatch Gold SDS and the Department is okay with that. Seriously though I've chucked heaps of chemicals that where years old and never going to be...
