I don’t know about chemistry stuff, but as a leftie this would make me thrilled because of the labeling side.

So often the labels on various unsymmetric things are on the side which would face you if you’re holding the thing right-handed. I’ve lost count of the number of times I pick stuff up on the opposite side of the handle just so I can look at the label.

yetAnotherUser@discuss.tchncs.de on 30 Aug 15:04 next collapse

I mean the solution would be to literally just label both sides.

hypnicjerk@lemmy.world on 30 Aug 21:46 collapse

do you think labels just grow on trees?

KingOfTheCouch@lemmy.ca on 30 Aug 18:34 collapse

I mean, I’m not left handed but… I still have a left hand and like to use it some times. :/

Some accessibility wins benefit everyone and it could be so easy.

KingGordon@lemmy.world on 30 Aug 13:16 next collapse

I like to send my helpers looking for left-handed screwdriver.

Righty loosy lefty tighty?

KingGordon@lemmy.world on 30 Aug 21:20 collapse

No just one that a left hander can use.

These bongs are awfully designed.

Carvex@lemmy.world on 30 Aug 14:11 next collapse

Yeah no percolator on any of them, gonna be rough hit

The number 1 job of any chem teacher, professor, lab tech instructor - Stop the kids from theiving the glassware to turn into bongs

i was going to say making meth.

porksnort@slrpnk.net on 31 Aug 10:19 collapse

Stop them? Or drop subtle hints as to how to do it correctly and teach some basic physics at the same time?

Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca on 31 Aug 13:18 collapse

Depends on the school. Lol.

To be clear, this glassware isn’t for the lab worker, it’s for chiral molecules that are left-handed or right-handed. As explained by famous chemist Walter White. /s

sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 30 Aug 15:37 next collapse

Eh, make ‘left handed’ glassware that alters the chirality of the resultants , now I am interested.

=P

It does, but only for racemic mixtures: instead of getting 50% R, you get 50% S.

Rednax@lemmy.world on 30 Aug 17:24 next collapse

Do they also have lab equipment for in Australia?

qaz@lemmy.world on 30 Aug 18:10 next collapse

Don’t be silly, just rotate it

bhamlin@lemmy.world on 31 Aug 01:34 collapse

They haven’t figured out how to get it working upside down yet. You’ll have to find a local retailer.

Derpenheim@lemmy.zip on 30 Aug 17:49 next collapse

You laugh, until you realize the measurement lettering (if its even still fucking visible) is only on one side.

ruuster13@lemmy.zip on 30 Aug 18:47 next collapse

You’re right. I’m no longer laughing.

ech@lemmy.ca on 30 Aug 19:05 collapse

I know nothing about manufacturing, but I wonder if/how it’s cheaper to do this rather than just printing on both sides.

Hupf@feddit.org on 30 Aug 19:57 next collapse

please don’t

I appreciate that the lab supply corp has an only fans page… that’s service.
