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?"

    Try a nearby university with a chemistry department. When I was an undergrad, the chemistry store on campus had everything you could want. You could browse the shelves and buy stuff cash-and-carry. Access to the store may have been restricted since Sep 11, 2001, though, as it has at my current grad school.

    here at college, i LOVE getting mail, so i signed myself up for some catalogs
    besides your basic Crutchfield and random crap, i enjoy looking through

    Edmund Scientific who has a great supply of random stuff

    Fischer Scientific they sent me several boxes of catalogs all for free, and then have EVERYTHING, you do need a "company" to buy, i have never bought anything but I dont think it should be a problem to make one up

    Everything you never wanted for prices you can't resist. And no, I'm not marketing for them, I've just bought a lot of fun stuff from there, and the prices, like I said, are very reasonable.

    Enjoy!
