Another Free product...
I was free stuff shopping, and came across this.
http://www.thermoscientific.com/en/products/general-labware....
If you scroll down to "Break the Glass Habit", and click on the highlighted link (Start Breaking the Glass Habit) There is a small info deal, and a 4
question test on what you just read.
The free product is a small Nalgene beaker. (10ml I believe) Nice for free...
Dow Corning also has a free sample page for many of their plastic Lab-ware products...

We'll see how this works out, thanks for finding that Zombie! I tried to get a big free sample order from Corning, and I'm related to the owner of a
small scientific company, so I'm hopeful.![:cool:](./images/smilies/cool.gif)
EDIT: Hahaha, that's really funny, 500 posts on my 1-year anniversary at SM. I didn't even realize I was near either of those until just now.![:o](./images/smilies/shocked.gif)

Happy anniversary Gdflp.
The Corning site is like a great big free for all. I'm thinking all the major manufacturers will have a similar system.
On the other side of the same coin... I try not to take advantage of too many of these.
I figure if I have to lie to get it, I probably shouldn't Unlike being married. I ALWAYS lied to get it!

I just noticed I have 500 posts in a month! Happy Birthday to ME! (they are
all dribble tho)
Here's another one...
http://www.fishersci.com/ecomm/servlet/cmstatic?href=index.j...
Fisher scientific. Go to the link marked "Special offers" on the left menu. You will find a "samples" link.
The only stipulation is you MUST sign up with them for an account first.
Business name, and a credit card. They do not charge you for samples. The card is solely for verification that you are a real person.
I ordered a sample PVC lab apron, and safety glasses. Should be here in a few days.
There chemicals are INSANELY expensive but the lab-ware is reasonable, and the consumables are fair as well.
I will be ordering gloves, hi heat mitt, surgical masks ect. from them.
Hope it helps...
I'll keep posting these as I find them.![;)](./images/smilies/wink.gif)
[Edited on 20-2-2015 by Zombie]
Oh yeah... I received a conformation Email from Dow that my samples from them have shipped.
2) sleves of 100mm vented Petri dishes, and a 250ml Wash bottle. I guess I have to order something from them to repay the kindness.

Damn, I haven't gotten one of those yet. Did you get that e-mail today, if so
at what time? Also, when did you order the samples? I was slightly greedier and kind of went down and checked off almost everything on the list.![:D](./images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
Also, congrats on being an International Hazard, that was fast. I bet you're on the no-fly list now.![:D](./images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

I received an email from Dow about 4 days ago, asking what my interest, and field was.
I replied that the wash bottle, and Petri's were for my interest in Mycology (Cloning), and the email that my sample order shipped came today at about
1:00 pm.
You must have asked for dozens of items...LOL
You would have been better off explaining you were equipping a new Lab, and were looking for vendors.
There is a Spanish company I came across that sends you a hard case assortment including a Sep. Funnel, 250ml Beaker, 250ml Erl. flask 24 / 32 I
think? 100ml RBF 24 / 32, Vacuum adapter, thermometer, and stoppers for all.
They are on Youtube, and I can't find the link again. I actually went to the web page (english) but had to leave the house, and lost the whole deal...
There is plenty of free stuff out there. You just have to be real, and not ask too much.

Yeah, I never got the first e-mail from them though. I kind of figured that it was
all or nothing. Time will tell I guess.

I found the company on Utube. It was a short name beginning with "S". Perhaps 5-6 letters in the name.
I tried searching again but so far cant find it. I think I was in Lab Supplies or Lab glass... I really forget.
Perhaps someone else will know the company? I do believe they were based in Spain.
Cool deal on the beaker Mailinmypocket.
I love free stuff.

The beaker is neat but it's has one of those stupid dome shaped bottoms that drives stir bars crazy. It's free though so can't complain, actually, yes
I can

Heat it up, and reshape it.
Maybe a heat gun held under it for a few moments. You have nothing to loose!

They ask nothing more than a name, and address.
Fisher does have a Lab sample page just like Dow /Corning but this is a different deal.
This offer actually seems to be aimed at hobbyists, amateur chemists.
Check out the link, read the page, answer 4 questions, and get a beaker. ![:cool:](./images/smilies/cool.gif)

Sorry to be so excited and persistent, but perhaps check your history on YouTube? I'm in serious need of this kind of equipment, and would probably
save a ton of money even if I did have to pay shipping.

I'm a paranoid Patty. My computer is wiped clean every night.
I will spend some time looking for it again however.

Here it is!!!!!!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FhJA8udFRk
Under the vid in the description there is a link to the company. I believe it was an English web site or I used "translate". I forget which.
I did not need the sample so I went no further. It was just to post here for others that might be able to use this.
Good luck, and let us know how you make out.
