Chemistry Equipment

 Yes, again!  Now is the time to hunt for deals!  BTW it’s a good time to shop Good Will or eBay, too!  Amazon has some decent deals on basic equipment.  Be sure to check that the test tubes are Pyrex, Kimax, or borosilicate, which are heat-tempered.  It is nice to have a one or two Pyrex beakers.  However, lab-grade plastic beakers and cylinders are fine for most lab experiments.  

Over time, I have bought several lab kits: eScience, MicroChem kits, and Quality Lab Science kits.  The advance to these used kits is that they often have a thermometer, digital scale, and test tubes.  Usually there is a pair of goggles or safety glasses and some lab equipment.  Good Will has the best deals.  Be sure to check the shipping costs before you bid!  I have purchased kits on eBay, when the shipping and price is less than $50 in total. 

MEL Starter Chemistry Kit has mini glassware and a burner.  If you can get a set for less than $35, it’s a decent deal.  Below are pix with prices.  Best of luck finding bargains!
