College Chem Dept
« on: October 25, 2012, 12:33:44 AM »
Hey all,
I figured many of you have some knowledge of when it comes to using your college's chem dept as a nice local supplier. It's great for reagents, glassware, and even some bigger tools especially when the university offers a PharmD program :)

Thought maybe some of you could share experiences and/or tips and tricks of some of the best ways to go about using your university as a supplier.

Somehow I doubt you'll get much in the way of positive replies to this on this board.


Well done you tho for the easy supply! Shit is expensive. Swim changed jobs to afford some nice stuff.

Talk about dedication.

Hahha. In all seriousness I doubt anyone robbing equipment wil be too happy to divulge much info. Besides what's more to it than throwing a fully assembled reflux condenser setup and vigreux column with a few fume hoods and a couple barrels of mdp2p in your lunch box and walking out if there  8)


The only time iv ever acquired glass in this way was when I was actually in school. A couple lab stands and bits an bobs of glassware. My sister was at an alternate school and did the same for me. This was used eventually in the extraction of cocaine from coca leaf. My school was due to be demolished well it was 1/4 Way done, a few years after I left. So I went back with my sister one night and found a way in. Went to the lab technicians office that we were never allowed into and it was unlocked.

Filled about 3 rucksacks with assorted beakers pipettes test tubes various attachments and tubing and bungs. A large separatory funnel was also found but whilst escaping the security guard later on was unfortunately destroyed whilst climbing a fence.



Of course, that's just a dream I had though....

If you really want to enjoy a pure, clean product the only way... is to make it yourself...

Dreaming is pretty good fun, but Dream On son.
Just here to say that you can usually buy surplus supplies from the labs, even the high school ones, but showing legitimate use is a bit harder on those unless you used to be buds with the professor and smoked bowls with him... heh...
off to bigger and better things - don't worry I will visit from time to time
