Make that total 1450. I'll take 100. Let me know how/when you need the money.

Anyone in Sydney want to combine postage and save a few $?

Cheers

Ok with airhead in as well it makes 1450 as he said and I am prepared to bite the bullet on this one, just hope the missus doesnt look at thew visa statement for a few weeks!

I will ring Perth scientific tomorrow place the order and try and find out how bulk 50 or 100 of these things is, then I will be able to get an idea of postage costs

[Gout]

I will stick to 100

[NRB]

If you can add another 100, I'll take them.

 

[ausdb]

UPDATE

NRB sorry the carton was 1500 all spoken for now, unless anyone wants to share some.

Sintax you got the last 50

Once they arrive I can work out postage and payment, I would prefer bank deposit to my account or cash if you are in Perth

Cheers

No problem - it was worth asking. If someone falls through at least you've got a backup person

Still waiting for them, be assured I will let everyone know when they are arrive. In the meantime could everyone please PM me their postal address so I can get onto working out how much postage will be (I need to find out how bulky they are as well)

Cheers ausdb

I've started checking out getting a test tube rack to hold my tubes of yeast.

Science Supply Australia has a 60 place tray for 16mm OD tubes (ours are 14mm OD) for $13.50 and it comes in White, Blue, Yellow and Red.

Does anyone know of a better price else where, or can get trade pricing ?

Beers,

I looked at getting a rack from Mcnan Biological on Ebay. Only about US$5 to buy.. but due to the size about US$10 to post

Ended up getting a 50 slot from livingstone - $6.70. Postage was $10 but I got a bunch of other stuff at the time so it wasn't that bad.

Cheers

I've had a quick look at eBay too, but mainly 6 hole tube holders.

They do come in assorted colours acording to the woman at livingstone I spoke to... its just that the colour you get is random.

Mine is a very fetching shade of pink.

Cheers

I would avoid buying stuff from livingstone as most of their stock is either secondhand or surplus equiptment and usually comes either broken or in poor condition.
At work (here in a pharmaceutical research lab) we buy most of our stuff from crown scientific, as it usually represents the best value and service. I know they have a large range of test tube racks.
If you live in Sydney you could pop into Lomb scientific at Taren Point. They are usually pretty good.
And if you work for a Charity or Government department you can buy Racks through Q-Stores, which would be your cheapest option.

Just passing on my experiences through ordering stuff for work. Not affiliated with any of these businesses etc.

Edit. spelling

 

[sosman]

Test tube racks are easy to make. Also don't forget to acquire one that will handle the pressure cooker like this one I made from sheet aluminium:

 

[Gout]

any updates on these test tubes? i am hanging out for mine to make up some more slants

cheers
