It looks as though it should be used for administering laudanum! A 30mL, 1-1/4" sq x 3" tall clear glass bottle, it has thick molded sides and a heavy lip: very antique in appearance. It is stoppered with a red(!) rubber stopper which is the squeeze bulb for the glass dropper tube inside. A real eye catcher, but give it a good wash please. It clearly is not sterile.

Eye dropper, tongue dropper, test tube dropper, petri dish dropper, anywhere dropper. Use this 3" glass dropper, with a rubber squeeze bulb to drop small amounts of liquid wherever you think they should go. You will have to measure by counting drops, though, because there are no markings on it. Also, it is called "3" because that is about how long the glass tube is. Overall, it is 4" long.

The smartest among us in these days of closed bars and bites as far as the eye can see will carry a little hip flask for emergencies. This one is a standard 7-ouncer in stainless steel with a matte black finish. Measures 4" x 3-1/2" x 1" thick, and given the number of emergencies you could encounter, we recommend a pair because, after all, you do have two hips.

From the workshop of the omnidexterous Carver Dan, these literal letter boxes are handmade from recycled, exotic hardwoods. Pull the secret pin and they open to reveal a velveteen-lined compartment for secret stuff. On top, each one has a carved letter--an initial if you will (and why wouldn't you?). Each box measures roughly 6" x 3-1/2" x 2-1/4" depending on the consonant. No paints, no stains, and no vowels. You pick: B, D, H, M, P, S or T. Feel free to snag more than one; these don't come around too often.

This gusseted, white plastic tote bag measures 17" x 16" x 4” with handles approx 12” long and has, for reasons unclear, a front that mimics a doctor's jacket with a stethoscope hanging around the neck of the bag. Ignore the faux medical-ness and just treat it like any other handy, waterproof plastic tote at a ridiculously low price. Or, go around telling people you’re in med school.

Rejoice, we have finally found a source of reasonably priced borosilicate lab glassware. This is the kind of glass in the trade marked Pyrex(tm) and Kimax(tm) labware. The stuff you can put right over the flame of the Bunsen burner, or directly onto the hot plate. This stuff is imported from China, and is considered student grade, which is good enough for anything but the most exotic applications. We have beakers, test tubes, graduated cylinders and flasks. Compare the prices below and you will see that they are around half the U.S. equivalent. Call us for larger quantity prices.
Please Note: Physical sizes may vary slightly due to vendor and Mfg changes. Call or email for more info.

Or in the air again? Or do you just like to be prepared, like any good Surpie does, for when regular travel returns? This soft-sided, black vinyl bag is a compact 21" x 13" x 6", well within carry-on rules, and easy to toss in the trunk or back seat. Zippered around the outside, it has a 7" long pocket, a zippered side pocket at 15" x 7", and another 13" x 9" pocket. Includes a shoulder strap and carrying handle. Not a roller, but an easy tote at under 3 lbs tare weight. (That means "empty"--we learned it from the side of a truck.)

The manufacturer says these magnetic canisters are “ideal for storing desk accessories,” although anything larger than paper clips or pushpins will be tough. On the other hand, they’re just the ticket for storing glitter, confetti and other tiny craft supplies. Our each is a 3-pack of 1-7/8” sq x 1-3/8” deep white plastic boxes with little disc magnets in the bottom. Tops have windows so you can see what you put in them.
