Do they also have lab equipment for in Australia?
They haven’t figured out how to get it working upside down yet. You’ll have to find a local retailer.
Don’t be silly, just rotate it
I appreciate that the lab supply corp has an only fans page… that’s service.
To be clear, this glassware isn’t for the lab worker, it’s for chiral molecules that are left-handed or right-handed. As explained by famous chemist Walter White. /s
You laugh, until you realize the measurement lettering (if its even still fucking visible) is only on one side.
I know nothing about manufacturing, but I wonder if/how it’s cheaper to do this rather than just printing on both sides.
You’re right. I’m no longer laughing.
I don’t know about chemistry stuff, but as a leftie this would make me thrilled because of the labeling side.
So often the labels on various unsymmetric things are on the side which would face you if you’re holding the thing right-handed. I’ve lost count of the number of times I pick stuff up on the opposite side of the handle just so I can look at the label.
I mean, I’m not left handed but… I still have a left hand and like to use it some times. :/
Some accessibility wins benefit everyone and it could be so easy.
I mean the solution would be to literally just label both sides.
But then they might lost .10 per item!!!
do you think labels just grow on trees?
I like to send my helpers looking for left-handed screwdriver.
Eh, make ‘left handed’ glassware that alters the chirality of the resultants , now I am interested.
=P
Whatever you do, do not put life in there
It does, but only for racemic mixtures: instead of getting 50% R, you get 50% S.
These bongs are awfully designed.
The number 1 job of any chem teacher, professor, lab tech instructor - Stop the kids from theiving the glassware to turn into bongs
Stop them? Or drop subtle hints as to how to do it correctly and teach some basic physics at the same time?
i was going to say making meth.
Reminds me of the study that proved the four distinct klein flask orientations after realizing the 4th was the inverted topology of the third.
