We use Finish tablets or powder, but rinse off as much loose material as you can before placing in the dishwasher. Our dishwashers (Simpson Silencio 850's) seem fussy as to where you place the glassware inside. I took the advice from the forum on stains and soak in Napisan overnight for the really s...

Magnets
Does anyone have a procedure I could follow to re-energise magnetic bars. I know it can be done with car alternators so this should be fairly simple as I don't want to change the field polarity. Any ideas guys?

It is infinantly easier to modify the wooden slots into which they fit using a tool such as a Dremel or a (very) fine chisel and file than removing edges from brittle glass slides. Even if you have access to a industrial diamond type glass cutter, the amount you need to remove sounds minimal and it ...

We had this issue while I was at Wyong High school after a workcover NSW audit. They were working on 20 litres as being an absolute maximum before insisting on a proper metal cabinet being (correctly) installed. Same goes for school GA's here in NSW for fuels etc. Seems there was an issue a couple o...

We tend to keep our test tubes in the prep rooms in the boxes (100 per box) they were delivered to us in. That way they sit it rows of ten in (washable) moulded plastic trays, stack easily on trollies ready for pracs and handling breakages and chips are almost unheard of as they are never in contact...
