Science Supplies?

[gothic-hamlet.livejournal.com]

For once both google and yelp have failed me, and so I turn to you guys for some suggestions! Does anyone know where one might find some food-safe test tubes or beakers in the area? (ie a science surplus store or a particularly well-stocked pharmacy) It's a little too late for me to be ordering online, so anywhere in the Somerville, Cambridge, or Arlington area would be great.

i don't have any specific suggestions, but i know some of the local college bookstores have some supplies like that. maybe northeastern, as it's got a pharmacy school?

I'd call Black Ink or the Museum of Useful Things -- they tend to have that sort of thing or know where to find it.

I don't know the answer but I bet these folks do. The Willoughby & Baltic folks (now moved to Union Square) might also have some ideas.

We've got some food safe beakers, don't think we have any food safe test tubes though

Where "we" is sprout (http://thesprouts.org). You're welcome to borrow them, or depending on how many you need, have some--what size/shape are you looking for?

It's an odd idea but maybe the Museum of Science gift shop????

Try calling the Children's Museum too.

I'm sure Homeland Security
