Testing workstations/supplies

[Court_Appointed_Hypeman]

I use all of the stock testing supplies with all of my testkits, but have been considering upgrading to better syringes and glassware. Maybe even setting up a small workstation or toolbox of everything.

Which led me to being curious as to what, those of you who use, non-stock equipment are using with your test kits. Have a workstation? Post a pic! Got a favorite syringe, test tube, or stirringrod/stirrer? Let's see a link!

I don't have an image handy, but I picked up two Pelican cases with the cube foam for my Hanna and other test kits.

That's a dope case

Same I use the Apache case as well. Also baby bottle drying racks are cheap and perfect for drying cuvettes, test vials, etc.

The baby bottle drying racks are a slick idea!

Omg soon as I saw the pic I had a laugh.

We have a few sets of those grass from having 3 bottle drinkers all at once.

I think we have them in storage still lol.

That's a decent recomendation, I have been shaking mine dry-ish and putting them back in the test kit boxes. Not the greatest, def have gotten some hannah reagent packs get a little stiff.

I'm a big fan of those 10 mL syringes for filling the Hannah cuvettes. Shortens the time to fill. I also like to have a spray bottle of RODI water so that I can rinse stuff inside and out.

Spray bottle is a good idea, I have beeb using an algae barn copepod jar for rodi with my test kits.

I've seen people make comments about getting more accurate syringes, but I am not sure to what degree that matters. I have been using a super cheap 10 pack of 10ml ones from amazon, and it's spot on in the hanna cuvettes.

I was considering looking into higher grade ones, but can't really tell if the extra money is buying me anything, at least from amazon.

I am inclined to agree - I don't think you really need to worry about lab grade accuracy unless you're using lab grade equipment. The testing deviation would probably mask any benefit from increased accuracy anyways.

Workstation for me.

I saw this and went to Harbor Freight during lunch. Hoping I can fit it all in.

Thanks!
