For the IEC one, I would just plug in a tube and turn her on.... press buttons. You can't really destroy it

I am in a similar situation as Merilyn1, have a system and my spreadsheet actually flags when one is coming due (the 5 year mark)...I go in every 2-3 weeks and check, update and reprint if needed. I also review all our Chemical Risk Assesments (we do a RA on every chemical before it gets ordered / o...

I use 10% HCl, soak for a few days and off you go.

This I just set mine ... will see what happens.

I have sourced real copper ore from drill holes from Rio Tinto. You could always fire off an email to their generic email adress. I have an inside contact but can't really share that.

With keeping copies of RA... we do only for the year they are running. At the end of the year I do a backup on RA and send them all to a file. No more hard copies anywhere and they are then saved in the system for ever.

We are a Vic Gov school, teachers can order however many they want. Our most was 22 on 1 day. We avergae 5 pracs/day. I have a rule that teachers need to book 1 week notice for old/repeat pracs, 2 weeks notice for new or developing pracs. We are lucky enough to have the room and so many trollys/tubs...

I looked into it...very expensive

We have 12..use them every year in Physics, depends on your physics teachers I think. Ours have about 5 strands of wire up and down them Different diameters so we know the resistance they should get but the students don't.

Make sure they meet regs for when you use higher concs of nasty stuff.

We have purchased from Flinn before, Canadian based, great serivce... we use a credit card.

I think westlab used to sell them

We have a black and white in our lab office, budget comes out of science. I would go insane if I didn't have a printer.

We make them ourselves...... if you have the time well worth the saving of $$$. If you are too busy, your time is money.

I tell my teachers that they need a Risk Assess becasue if something happens and a student is injured that they are responsible (not me). I also remiind them of the new workplace manslaughter laws.

We have a mix in our labs... kids just grab randomly. Have never had a teacher ask for one or the other.

heat distribution is my guess, so you don't have direct flame on glass.. but don't know for sure

I have purchased 5L flasks in a different life..... I found they are way to heavy to be using, will not purchase again.
