This week I was in desperate need of a rubber stopper for one of my mad science experiments. So I drove over to Lab Pro. Located in the heart of Silicon Valley, Lab Pro is one-stop shop for chemistry lovers. I also bought a dessicator (which I will not let my wife use to make fruit leather), vacuum tubing, adaptors, and, of course antistatic tweezers--can't get enough of those.
The folks are knowledgeable, friendly and awesome. If you live in the bay area, then consider yourself lucky. If not and you don't have a stockroom at your college, then you're probably stuck with online orders to Fisher or VWR--good luck navigating those websites. It's so much easier to walk in and grab the size you need.
Behind the counter they had autographed pictures of Kari Byron and other cast members from MythBusters who apparently drop by for last-minute needs. So cool!!! It was like being in a shrine or something.
Buy local--use Lab Pro. It's good for business. It's lazy. And it's trendy! --what more could you want?
