Sounds so great, we have ordered some of this, has any one already got some, how do you find it????????????

So are you buying it from the Nathan mentioned in the article?

No from Haines Educational.

Be warned that you heat it in near-boiling water in order to shape it. Which means that you can't use it for all applications or else it loses its shape! I made some delivery tubes for the Pasteur experiment and they flopped spectacularly when the broth was boiled!

Ahhh, now I know what the mystery tubing is in the drawer here! So, no I haven't used it but thanks for sharing the info - it may now get used!

I bought some about 2 years ago - and the teacher who requested it has never picked it up since...
