I’ve gotten 2 skin burns from chemicals with a nitrile glove breakthrough time of <1 second
underfunded undergrad lab classes without heavy duty gloves shouldn’t be allowed to use fuming nitric acid >:(

Chemists from 1925 in 1960… I don’t remember always having this much cancer… Or reduced lung function.

As someone who worked in nuclear power you should definitely NOT pipette by mouth.

My uncle was a med lab tech in the hospital. They still had “no mouth pipetting” signs up in the late 90s.

Do they still sell the Pipetting silly straws somewhere? I was in a Bio lab last week and they didn’t have any (but still told everyone to NOT pipette the E.Coli with their mouths) so I really want to try that now

Dunno about now, but I had to pipette stuff in BTech. That’s less than 10 years ago.
