Subject: NY, Onondaga Co. Box check / Centrifuge Tubes !

From: catbead1 (libby@twcny.rr.com) | Date: 2004-04-04 03:41:37 UTC

I went out and checked on our boxes in Green Lakes SP this
week and am happy to say that they all survived the winter.
Even the one that I thought was lost last fall. Turns out
it was tucked away in a spot not quite where it should have
been, and was well hidden by last fall's thick layer of
leaves.

I was expecting to find the Crystal Dye inkpad I left in
one box to be useless after the long cold winter, but
other than the pad starting to separate from the box, it
still had ink and made a good impression.

We'll be getting out to check our other boxes soon and will
have some new additions to announce before long.

The little 50mm centrifuge tube micro-boxes came thru with
flying colors. I placed my order for a case and expect to
see them in about 10 days. If anyone wants to see what they
look like I have some pictures with more information here:

Some quick information: I ordered the ones with a place to
write on, so the cost will be higher at 2 for 29
plus shipping from me to you. Since this is my cost, there
will not be any sales tax for NY. If anyone wants to give
them a try, contact me off list or follow the email link on
the above page on my website.

Cheers,

What a great idea! We use these at work (a clinical lab) and they
are indeed sturdy...I can vouch for that.
My one warning is if the caps get screwed down TOO tight they will
crack (the round top will separate
from the serrated sides). Your price is very reasonable, too.

Thanks for letting me know about the tops, I'm including it in with
the problems I've discovered section.
