Surplus Lab Equipment?

Posted by Cliff on from the bunsen-burners-on-eBay? dept.

theunforgiv3n asks: "We have recently been doing some cool science experiments, in school. Being the geeky type, I am looking to recreate some of these at home. To do this, I am looking for a good place to order some surplus laboratory equipment like flasks, non-gas Bunsen burners, and tubing (glass and plastic). Price isn't a big issue but I don't really want to spend a lot of money on this. So tell me Slashdot, where do you order your science equipment?"

    All the science equipment I ever got was from CompUSA.

    Are you trying to synthesize methamphetamine, or C5 explosives?

    This isn't an ask /., it's an "Ask your local chrystal meth cook" those guys always seem to have the stuff and you know they don't spend too much on it.

      2 problems with asking a meth cook:

      1 He probably traded dope for it and doestn't know where it came from.

      2 If you spend too much time parked in his driveway asking him, your car will wind up half torn apart, and painted odd colors.
