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?"

    In my neck of the woods the drug task force is on the look out for folks ordering lab equipment. They tend to think that they're running a meth lab.

      I assume this is part of the new Ashcroft "Use a chemistry set, go to jail!" initiative?
