Selling a bunch of stuff

Dariusrussell - 18-4-2017 at 08:03

It's been a few years since I've been active here. I've since moved on to other things and will soon be physically moving too. Almost all of my usable lab equipment is looking for a new home. Nearly all of it has been purchased through Dr. Bob and other users on the site, or biotech lab closeouts on ebay.

Need this stuff gone by May 15! Someone can either take it or it's going in the trash, sadly. If you're local to MA, I'll drive this out to you or wherever you want to meet. EDIT: Shipping is too big of a pain. Looking to give this as a lot locally. I'm willing to drive 200 miles from Boston area and we could meet halfway (400 mile radius) to offload this.


First up: Things worth money if you aren't local. Imgur Link

  1. KNF UN813.3ANDC-B Teflon Roughing Pump equipped with power supply. Good for vacuum distillation and filtration. Looking for $200 shipped, OBO.
  2. Generic 2 Stage, 3CFM rotary vacuum pump. Good for roughing / filtration. Wouldn't use for distillation involving solvents etc. Probably $100 shipped or so. Barely ever used it, but it works. Would prefer local pickup.
  3. Corning PC-351 Hotplate Stirrer. Seen better days but fully functioning. Mostly just some surface corrosion on the plate. $100


I also have for pickup:

19/22 3-way condenser takeoff
19/22 vacuum takeoff
19/22 RBF/Pears 50~250 mL
19/22 condensers, vigreaux column and straight column
19/22 M -> 24/40 F
24/40 M -> 19/22F
19/22 3 way FF/M
24/40 o-ring thermometer adapter
19/22 short path
14/20 50 mL flasks
14/20 short path

2x 125 mL sep funnel
250 mL sep funnel
various beakers
2x 1L schott-duran media bottles, blue cap
funnels and graduated cylinders
8x 16 oz brown glass bottles

assorted vials in S/M/L. About 50 small w/ screw caps. ~20 of each other size w/ screw caps. Full case of small with push fit caps

bag of 10 mL VWR transfer pipettes
nearly full box of VWR Pasteur pipettes

Assorted mercury and alcohol thermometers, up to 400 C
Assorted TLC plates, AL and glass back.

150 mL Fine Fritted Funnel
30 mL Medium Fritted Funnel
60 mL Ultra Fine Fritted Funnel

Also 500 mL of Trichloromethane and 1 L of DCM. Costly to dispose of so if someone wants them, take them.

I'd take your ground glass, thermometers, and frits.

I'm in Minnesota, so PM me about shipping and payment for it.

If shipping is too much of a pain and someone really wants something you're getting rid of, what if they emailed you a shipping label to themselves? It'd be addressed to them, so you could just print it out and tape it to the box.

I'm going to be making a trip to Harvard Square around May 20

Dariusrussell - 19-4-2017 at 13:05

Big reason I decided not to ship is how the lab is currently packed up right now. I thought I did a better job labeling the boxes than I did, so I'd have to unpack a lot of random stuff to find some of the smaller glass.

Dariusrussell - 19-4-2017 at 13:10

If there's significant interest I would be able to sell the ground glass as a lot – as listed it's mostly 19/22. Or any other bigger orders.
It's just a pain to try and find one small adapter in the box and ship that out.

I'll try to arrange a pickup within the next week or so. I know some people in Boston so hopefully it will work out.

JnPS - 20-4-2017 at 05:26

What do you have left? My semester will be over after this week so I would have time to drive down and pick up some stuff

Dariusrussell - 20-4-2017 at 07:08

So far, everything. pm me and we'll work something out.
