Hi to all, I am having a problem with sds on methyl red. I printed one off with an issue date 05/09/2018 that has it with a class 9 and pg 111. I just printed one off with an issue date September 2020 and can't find anything about classes or pg on it. has methyl red magically turned non hazardous? T...

I find risk assess to be great when it comes to time and date stamping......no more arguments over who ordered what first. I really like the set up for what experiment is booked when. I personally wouldn't want to go back to writing up all the orders in a book but I do keep copies of every order.Als...

=D> =D> =D> Happy STAR week and SASS week. I wasn't sure if anyone else was being spoilt but I sure have been by my faculty ....head teacher mainly although the whole staff are usually pretty well behaved and appreciative. I hope everyone has a nice rest of the year and are respected and appreciated...

Hi all you wonderful labbies, I hope you are coping in this trying time. I have been lucky enough to have the time to clean out our textbook store. I have texts that are free to a new home, you just have to pick them up if you want them. Books available are : The World of Science Book1 x 21 The Worl...

Welcome back all labbies. Every time I get on this site, there is a wonderful teacher asking for something. I hope everyone had a nice break and are ready for the challenges that this year will bring (because it will). Started the year with two new (to us) teachers so I have been busy training them ...

Ditto. Feel so sorry for all that have lost property and stock, as well as our native animals.

A big shout out to all labbies out there, Just wanted to wish everyone a great STAR week, Science technician appreciation and recognition week. Hope everyone is as blessed as I am with a great staff and wonderful head teacher who support me and show me respect and consideration. We all work hard and...

Hi to all labbies,
I am looking for a new flammables cabinet. Has anyone bought one recently and can help me out with information, cost, size (250 litres) availability and if they are any good and suit the purpose intended?
Many thanks.

We have aprons and safety goggles. I manage to wash them about twice a year. That is 200 aprons that need to go through a washing machine (definitely NOT mine) and then hung over the back of chairs to dry and get folded by me. Certainly no budget for lab coats or the facility to store them.

Hi fellow labbies. We purchased a ripple tank last year from Serrata $585 that makes our teachers happy and we also got some collision trolleys from Westlab that are terrific $117 for a pair.
Hope this helps

Welcome back. I hope that you have an amazing year and are shown the respect and consideration that we all deserve.

A big shout out to all labbies , Even though there is some term time left, I just wanted to wish you all a safe and happy festive season and remember to take care of yourselves. I know how hard we all work and we need to take time to rest and relax. All the very best for a productive and supported 2...

I think that NOT having the fume cupboards serviced might fail the OH&S test. I haven't had the extractor fans cleaned but the fume cupboards are done every 12 months. Must check with the technician next year about the fans.

I rinse all equipment and then run them through the dishwasher. I have plastic chopping boards that go through the dishwasher as well. I leave them to air dry.

And all the others that replied.ta muchly

Many thanks supreet. you are a gem.

Welcome back to the best site. Many thanks to Westlab for providing this link.
My question is : how do you make a .5m solution of Ammonium thiocyanate? I can't find a recipe in my books and am hoping that one of you wonderful labbies can enlighten me.
Thanks in advance

Hello to all out there in labbie land.
I have been asked to source a light gate used to measure sound ( I think) in physics. I can't find anything like the teacher wanted and was wondering if it is called something else.
Thanks in advance

I have been here 6 years and never seen an inspector or heard if they came through. There are no drains in the floors under the shower, so think I would notice if someone had tested them. I would still be trying to clean up the mess!!! Because I don't have anything better to do.

Find this is the case with most of the equipment I try to order from Serrata these days. I know I am not the only one ordering but I think that they could send an email to let us know what is going on with our orders. AND I love catalogues and hate trying to find things on line.
