Chemistry on a Budget: Labware

 I did a deep dive into Amazon's Early Access Deals to search for labware.  There is a glass set of labware available.  I recommend the plastic or polypropylene beaker and cylinder set instead.  I do have two dozen glass, borosilicate beakers, flasks, and cylinders.  However, the bulk of my labware is polypropylene plastic.  Plastic doesn’t break.  Most of the solutions we use in lab are less than 1 M and quite dilute, which won’t etch the plastic labware.  BTW I used plastic when I taught in private and public schools, too!
