Someone asked me about UV lamps, so I gathered them all up and took some photos. I have tested them all, and they all work. The one wavelength 345 nm (UVL-21) ones I would ask $40 for, the single wavelength 254 (UVG-11) I would ask $50 for, and the duel wavelength (UVGl-25) I would ask $60 for.

Thanks to several SciMad people for help in cleaning out the latest chemistry business to shut down. We have removed 2 hoods and their benches, lots of chemicals, glassware, and equipment. This has also produced over $3000 for the widow to help her pay for things. We may have even found someone to take over the lease, but not sure yet. I am still sorting and cleaning the glassware, but will continue posting as I get things in ready to ship condition. But I have found more various bottles, rotovap parts, smaller heating mantles, flasks, and so much more.

For chemicals, I do have a lot (100's) of substituted phenols, carboxylic acids (both benzoic and aliphatic) and a few inorganics that I might be able to ship small bottles of. So if you are looking for any of those, please let me know which ones, and I likely have them. Sadly, there are many nice chemicals that are hard to ship or large amounts, so shipping would be tough, but several local people have gotten a variety of those so far. I will try to update my list soon with many of the new finds, but it will take a while to list all of it.

Also, if anyone, especially in academics, is interested, there are a lot of boronic acids, mostly small containers, most of which are solids and easily shipped. I have also found a few 1-5 g bottles of palladium acetate, palladium chloride, platinum oxide (various types and batches), a variety of Pd(triphenylphosphine) compounds, the dichloride and other salts. Most of the Pd(0) triphenylphosphine material is clearly crap now (red), but if someone if interested in trying to recover the Pd or reduce it back to useful (yellow) Pd(0) material, I would be happy to discuss that. I also have a number of various phenols, they might be harder to ship, but if someone can think of a use, let me know.

Also, I found a whole pile of like new smaller heating mantles, mostly 100, 200, 250, or 500 ml size, so I am adding them to my spreadsheet shortly.

Here is a photo of one of the 5L 24/40 rbfs I have (this one has a minor etch around the middle from a PTFE paddle, I suspect), plus a 2L and 4L sep funnel that I have cleaned up. i can provide a PTFE or glass stopper for either one. These are some of the last large sep funnels I will likely have. Asking $50 for the 5L rbf, $50 for the 2L sep funnel, and $65 for the 4L, plus the actual shipping costs. The 2L sep funnel has a straight cut drip tip, the 4L has a small chip on the tip, but in very good condition.

I have several Foxy 200 type fraction collectors available from the lab I am cleaning out. I am happy to basically give them away if you are willing to pay for shipping and handling (my cost of packaging materials) to your address. They weigh about 30 pounds, so not cheap, but likely $100 will get you one. I think most of them work, and I will ship the best ones first, so the sooner you claim one, the more likely it is to be working and cleaner. I have lots of racks as well, I'll send 2 or more with each, whatever fits into the package easily, they will each add a pound or so to the shipping. I just need to find them a home and get them out of the lab. I attached some generic photos as I have a few of them, but no photos yet.

I still have a large oven, a ductless hood for weighing and handling solids (filters the air and recirculates it), and a small benchtop hood to find homes for in the next few weeks. I also have a large stainless enclosure that is about 4 x 4 x 6 feet.

I also have an entire mid-sized hood left to remove (got 2 out already) if anyone wants to find a way to get it. I can't find a photo of it now.

Just sold the bottom three items above last week. The stainless steel enclosure turned out to weigh 1290 pounds, so it was a lot more fun to move that I thought possible. It had been a eclosure for some machine tool originally, and the base was made of 1" thick plate steel, the rest was stainless and thick as crap.

I want to thank everyone for the help cleaning out the lab, it is complete now, the lease is cancelled and a new chemist has leased the space now, so they are keeping the remaining hoods and such, as part of the lease deal. Still sorting out the stuff I removed in order to sell it all, lots of rotovap parts and pieces, lots of glassware, including a ton of glass frit funnels, which I have been cleaning for 2 months. So I now have a lot more frit funnels available, and have tried to update the spreadsheet. I still have more small ones left to clean and add to the inventory, so if you want small ones shown as 0 in stock, let me know, I likely have some and will keep adding them.

Also have a lots of larger erlenmeyers and filter flasks now cleaned, if you have been wanting one, now is the time to act while I have a few to choose from.

Just found yet more glass frit funnels, a bunch of 29/42 ones, and many more smaller ones, 15, 30, and 60 ml ones in plain, 14/20, 24/40 and 29/42 joints, in fine, medium and course. Most are clean, but I have a few that are not very clean, I can do a deal on them if anyone is ok with slightly dirty ones. Also have a very nice pair of polarimeters, one manual one (you turn the dial until the view is black, asking $175 on Ebay, see below, cheaper bought directly) and one fancy electronic automated one, which determines the rotation and can also do all of the math is you set it right with concentration and such. Still getting photos of the fancy one.

Got another load of stuff processed and cleaned. The biggest thing is an automated Polarimeter. Someone had been interested in it before, but went with a manual one, so I still have the fancy one, an Azzoto® AUTOMATIC POLARIMETER +/-45 model. This used to sell new for ~$4000-5000 and sells used on Ebay for about $1500-2000. The newer model they sell now is over $10,000. I will be listing it for $1500, but if anyone is interested, let me know, it would save a lot of fees to sell it directly.

I also have a whole box of erlenmeyer flasks, mostly 1L Pyrex ones (asking $10), about 6 or so, but many other sizes as well, including one 5000 ml 29/42 stopper top flask (make me an offer). Plus I have a variety of TS 22 stopper top 125 ml erlenmeyers (5$ w/glass stopper). I am trying to catch up on all of the u2us and emails, but I have gotten very busy again, so I apoligze for the delays.

I have one or two Buchi Rotovap R114s frame and motors available from this lab cleanout. The motors works, and I have the glassware and parts to build a rotovap up from them. I do have some various water baths also, trying to test them currently. I also have all of the glassware for these, both water and dry ice condensers available. I would ask $120 for the base, the other parts would depend on which versions you want. This will likely be my last rotovap motors to sell. But I have lots of parts and pieces left.

Another person asked me about pressure tubes. I have a large assortment of them, mostly from Ace, a few from ChemGlass. The larger ones use a large PTFE cap, I have a few but not enough for every bottle, so I would prefer to sell them in pairs of bottles with one cap. The smaller tubes are similar, there are two types of caps, the top sealing ones and the ones with a smaller inner O-ring, both work with any tube, but again I have fewer caps than tubes, so I would like to go 2 or 3 to one there. I would ask $20 per tube for smaller ones, $30 for larger ones, 40 for the small bottles, and $50 for the large bottles. Then $20 for the smaller caps, and $30 for the larger ones for the bottles. If you wanted more tubes or buy other things at the same time, I can provide discounts, same for acedemic buyers.
