A honey of a little digital scale, the techies in the back room say.

A great find: sterile plastic petri dishes, 90mm dia x 15mm deep, with a loose fitting lid. Great for growing cultures for your science fair experiments, as individual pancake storage cases or for mixing paint. Our each is (25) dishes and lids in a sealed, sterile package.

Pat's been hanging around the medical supply house again. We now have a boatload of rubber stoppers, the kind you see on bottles of liquid medicine, crimped down with an aluminum collar. (Pat didn’t buy the aluminum collars.) The medicine is removed via a hypodermic needle through the stopper. The rubber stoppers come in a friendly orange and fit (13 mm) dia openings. The orange are 9/16" across the top, which has a dimple in the center, and 9/16" top to bottom. Why would you want them? Because they'll fit many of the small wide-mouth and slope-shouldered bottles in our Bottlemania listing. Pat's really good!

Porcelain mortars and pestles. Great heavy duty mortars, with sides that are easily 5/16" thick on the smaller ones, and up to 1/2" on the larger. The mortars are glazed outside, but rough inside, the better to grind, and have a pouring lip. The business ends of the pestles are unglazed, while the shafts are glazed. Very functional, very good looking!! So grind your own spices, fresh herbs or lab concoctions as you prefer. You get a mortar and pestle as a single order.

These 6” steel dissection probes have knurled handles above 1-1/4” long x very sharp 1/16” points. Ignore the “Oil Pick” name on the package. We don’t know what it means either, other than that it translates to “surplus bargain".

We’ll say. Herr Erlenmeyer of flask fame was handled Richard August Carl Emil Erlenmeyer, but you can call him Emil. Our Borosilicate glass version of his flask holds 500ml, and is graduated from 200ml to 400ml in 50ml increments. Stands 3-3/4” tall with a 4-1/4” dia bottom narrowing to 2-1/2” at the top, which also makes it a hard-to-spill coffee cup.

Affordable, adaptable lab equipment for serious scientists with laughable budgets. The basic stand is heavy black metal 8" long x 5" wide x 1" high with a 19-1/2" x 3/8" dia support rod screwed into it. Position a beaker or bunsen burner on the stand and build the configuration you need above it. Both the Burette clamp and the ring attach to the rod with thumbscrew clamps. The Burette clamp has a wing nut so it can be adjusted to any angle. The clamp extends 4" from the rod, with rounded, uncoated, adjustable metal jaws with spring tension and a wing nut. The 3" metal support ring holds the 6" x 6" heavy-gauge steel-mesh burner screen with crimped edges. Nice, solid equipment at a rare price.

This blue plastic test-tube rack measures approx 8" long x 2-1/2" wide x 3-1/4" tall with (6) holes for full tubes, the end ones at 1-1/16" / 27mm dia and the others at 3/4" / 19mm. In front of these are (6) pegs for clean inverted tubes.

Fearful of language barriers, some folks get anxious when they travel internationally. Not this fine red-alcohol glass thermometer. Whether its travels take it to Britannia or Madagascar, Appalachia or Moscow, it's always ready to tell the temperature in the local tongue. Working stateside? No problem: it reads 0° to 230° F, in 2° increments. On a junket across the pond? Again, the Passport Therm shines, reading -20° to 110° C in 1° increments. It's 11-3/4" long, 3/16" dia, and travels in a nothing-special-but-still-handy plastic case.

Here’s a fine pair of nylon bristle brushes, just perfect for cleaning test tubes, aquarium filter tubes or your favorite long-necked soda bottle. The smaller brush is 8-1/2” long with a 1/2" dia. while the larger is 10-1/2” overall with a 1-3/8” dia. The bristle area for both is approx. 3-1/2” long.

There's a tool for everything. Think post-hole diggers for a model railroad layout. All right, all right. Think cork borers for all those solid corks and rubber stoppers in laboratories, the ones that need holes for glass and rubber tubing. Our each is a set of (3) 3-3/4" long brass tubes with sharpened ends and red-plastic T-handles. Diameters are 9/32", 7/32" and 5/32". They're nested on the 4-3/4" pin used to clear the plug from the tube.

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. 

Puns-R-Us. This white coffee mug has pi-Lingual printed on it, along with a bevy of geometric diagrams and equations, plus pi carried to 50 decimal places. Try not to use while eating a piece of pie, because there are some limits to what people will tolerate.

Stainless steel surgical scalpel blades, size #22. Great for hobbies and crafts. 

Or funnelette? Whatever. It's a polypropylene mini-funnel, for putting a little something through little openings. Measures 2-1/4" long OA, with a 35mm dia mouth and a fluted, 4mm ID neck.
