I used them for the first time over the summer. I had a rep come in to demo some equipment to us and she took the list of stuff I was ordering for the year and gave me a quote. We ended up saving quite a bit of money and the quality of their chemicals was a lot better than some other suppliers...
We do this with A level psychology. We buy a pack of 4 brains from samples for schools and preserve one or two ourselves in formaldehyde (guidance on this from CLEAPSS) and then defrost one of the ones we don't preserve to show what it actually looks like
I have benches with cupboards underneath around the outside of 2/3 of the room, and gratnell racking arranged in 'bays' in the other 1/3. On one wall I have cupboards on the wall which are useful for somethings but aren't that deep so can be a little bit awkward. The under bench cupboards are...
