Re: Micro test tube racks

Just a thought........make your own from polystyrene blocks saved packing appliances, tv's etc... ... recycling, cheap and disposable
Depending on thickness of polystyrene blocks you can use 2-4 or 6 sides ??

Re: Flame test kits

For a bit of WOW factor try this.....DEMO only ....

Put a small amount of metho in an evaporating basin.
Add some solid so that it sits above the metho.
With a long taper light the metho and watch the flame colour.
If you have the glass evaporating basins...even better
